Best ways to fish it (demo)
The Liquid Baits 3.5" Scented Ice Leech is a cold-water finesse staple. Compact, subtle, and scented, it’s built for slow presentations when fish want an easy, believable meal near bottom. When/Where: Late fall through ice-out; rock, sand, and transitions where fish pin to bottom. How: Rig straight and fish with short drags and long pauses. Let the bait breathe. Why: Leech profiles excel in cold water, and scent helps convert light bites. Tuning: Downsize weight before changing color—slower usually wins. When/Where: Pressured fish, clear water, or post-front conditions. How: Minimal movement—drag, stop, and let it stand. Most bites come on the pause. Why: Upright posture + subtle leech action equals high confidence eats. When/Where: Vertical edges, holes, and fish you can see on electronics. How: Nose-hook for max quiver or light Tex-pose around rock. Shake slack, not the sinker. Why: Keeps the leech hovering naturally while scent seals the deal. When/Where: Classic cold-water jigging on rock and gravel. How: Slow drags with frequent dead-sticks. Why: Simple, efficient, and deadly when fish won’t chase.Finesse / Compact Jig
