Catch More Panfish with the K&E Stopper Lures Ice Ant When the bite gets tough and the water gets clear, experienced ice anglers reach for a classic. The Stopper Lures K&E Ice Ant is a legendary vertical jig designed specifically to trigger strikes from finicky Bluegill, Crappie, and Perch. Its simplistic, time-tested design mimics the small aquatic insects and larvae that panfish forage on all winter long. Whether you're fishing under a slip bobber or tight-lining, the Ice Ant delivers a subtle, life-like presentation that fish simply can't resist. Why the Ice Ant belongs in your tackle box: Ultra-Realistic Profile: The segmented "ant" body provides a natural silhouette that fools even the most pressured fish. High-Visibility Finishes: Available in a wide array of proven colors—from bright attractors to subtle naturals—ensuring you have the right look for any water clarity. Premium Gold Hooks: Equipped with a sharp, durable gold hook that provides extra flash and superior sets in cold water. Perfect for Tipping: The elongated body is ideal for pairing with live bait like waxies and spikes, or your favorite plastic trailers. Versatile Action: Its balanced weight allows for a delicate "quiver" that mimics a struggling insect, perfect for dead-sticking or active jigging. Pro Tip: Try a "rise and stall" technique. Lift the Ice Ant slowly about 6 inches, then let it sit perfectly still. The subtle horizontal profile of the Ant often triggers a "looker" to finally commit.
