Berkley, Inc . has apparently taken the needs of ice fishermen to heart with the re cent introduction o f a family o f products designed expressly for cold weather anglers Nylon monofilament lines, for example, tend to get stiff and brittle in frigid weather, and the resulting coils can cause line snarling and make light bites (the norm with ice fishing) difficult to detect To rectify this problem. Bcrkely announces its new Trilene Cold Weather fishing line, designed tor use in temperatures ranging from sub zero to 45 degrees Available in strengths from I to 17 pound lest, the line is said to main tain maximum limpness and strength in cold weather conditions Also from Berkley are (heir new Northern fates ice rods, available in casting and spinning models Sporting ultrasensitive, 100 percent graphite blanks, they come in a variety o f actions in lengths from 24 to *6 inches f or the trout and panfish o f eastern Oregon. Berkley I’ K Director Michael f ine suggests a 30 inch stick with a medium or ultra light action Last year Berkley's moldablc, scented. Power Bait in crappie, panfish and trout formulas took the angling world bv storm I his writer fisher man enjoyed a marked increase in success on crappie by tipping my |igs with the Power Bait designed tor that species and no. I'm not on Berklcv's payroll For 1990, the company has added several new Power Baits to their lineup the miniature marshmallow shaped Power Nuggets and the salmon egg shaped Power F.ggs are designed tor trout, while their tough, maggot like Power Wigglcrs arc said to be effective tor crappie and pan fish All of the Power Baits mentioned, the company claims, are ideally suited for ice fishing Berkley says their Neoprene fishing gloyes, much like those used bv cold water divers, provide the ice angler a good feel ot his equipment without sacrificing warmth or water resistance But regardless o f how well equipped and warmly dressed they are, and no matter how well the fish bite, many will complain they re |ust not suited for ice fishing Still, even they must agree it sure beats mow mg the lawn Mustangs clobber Joseph Eagles 67-27 Jo-Hi Tourney The game was close and nothing wav changed ai halftime as the score was tied al 22 Fhc Mustangs then took a three point lead al the end o f the third quarter The Bobcats battled back and had a tw o point lead with oik * minute left to play lhe Mustangs Jason Britt was f«>uled and made two freethrows, which tied the game at 52 Union then took the lead on a free throw and with six seconds left Russell Britt sank a freethrow . lying the game at 53 A Union player then sank a 10 -foot jumper with one second left Heppner 7 |7 Ift IX XX « IX l.x I * 55 Hepptnr i5Xl fV llsjnhn.
