Yes, they are hard fighters and very tentative biters, usually only have one shot at them when they come in...have to be very quiet as well ive noticed over the years

Your'e right about them being spooky in shallow water under the ice , we learned , a bright orange survivial suit seems to send a reflection and it definitely spooks the bow , now we wear camo with a inflatable pfd . They are super spooky , but if you move very little and slow the fight they put up is awesome ,there is a lot to be learned watching steelies down a hole which has helped me in soft water presentations ..

Good luck

Dave

Absolutely

First time I tried it we broke two rods in the first hour lol. Make sure your drag is set to "steelhead" if you're going to give it a go. Jaw jackers or similar work good for steelies as they don't usually hang around chewing on a set line. In a regular rod holder they're usually gone by the time you get to it.

You guys know your stuff
