Safety Accessories
Make sure you're stocked with these tools that can get you out of a tight spot. Clam Floating Ice Picks are a simple tool that make it easy to pull yourself from the water. Keep them around your neck and they may just save your neck.
The Rapala Ice Chisel is perfect for puncturing ice to test the thickness, so you know when it's safe to start fishing. They are made from welded steel and have a foam-coated handle to help give you a good grip with plenty of power.
Add extra peace of mind with a personal flotation device like this Guide Gear 24 Automatic/Manual Inflatable PFD. It will inflate upon submersion and provides buoyancy 2x as high as standard foam vests. Plus, it's compact and comfortable enough for all day wear.
Find flotation apparel that fits you best. This Eskimo Men's Keeper Waterproof Insulated Jacket with Uplyft will keep you comfortable and warm while offering added assurance should the ice crack.
