This has nothing to do with muskies, but i do ice fish for pike when i have too.

I've seen on a few ice fishing videos that they have a small red or yellow oval shaped thing on the line that sits in the hole. I'm guessing it's some type of anti-ice thing?
What are they called and where can i get one?

Thanks for any help!

No i dont think it's a bobber or and it's not a tip-up...
I might be just remembering the wrong thing from those videos :P

I think its some type of thing you put on your line and insine the oval thing you put some type of anti-freeze liquid so that the line cal run freely even if the hole gets full of ice.

Nothin more fun than pullin in a biggun' hand over hand... Proper rod and reel :o. Drags don't work too well on even the most proper reels when it is below freezing

I disagree, ive done plenty of both and i prefer the rod and reel.
I use Okuma Magda 20DLX and the drag works perfectly even in freezing temps.
