The new UV Bright finish promises to increase the lure’s visibility by reflecting more light, including ultra-violet light, and triggering aggressive strikes from predatory fish. All UV Bright lures have a reflective base, fluorescent paints, optical brighteners and lures covering the entire spectrum of visible colours.

Behold The Wind Powered Auto Jigger

Modeled after Duchamp’s 1913 ready made, Bicycle Wheel, this auto-jigger harnesses the power of the wind. A silver dinner bell rings when a fish bites. Perfect for catching panfish and Dadaists. Debuts Sunday January 29th, 2012 at the Art Shanty Projects.

The Art Shanty Project is a four-week art show slash social experiment inspired by traditional ice fishing huts. The show is open until February 5th, and is taking place on Medicine Lake, Plymouth, Minnesota.

Maybe wind power isn’t your thing. Well how about steam power?
