With winds howling and temperatures below ZERO, this Ice Team Trap Attach was no place for the faint of heart. Congratulations to the winning team of Mark Rusinek and Jeff Falkowski who brought in their limit and Winning Weight of the mixed bag Perch and Bluegill.

Here is what Mark had to say about the event.
"I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ICE TEAM AND ALL WHO MADE THE N.Y. TRAP ATTACK HAPPEN, INCLUDING THE COMPETITORS AND HELPERS. SUNDAY BROUGHT SOME WICKED WEATHER, BUT I SAW NO ONE BACK DOWN FROM MOTHER NATURES FURY. THERE WERE A FEW THINGS I NOTICED THIS YEAR THAT I MAY HAVE OVERLOOKED AT THE 05 N.Y. TA AND CHAMPIONSHIP. ONE IS HOW SMITTY AND HIS CREW RUN AROUND MAKING SURE EVERYTHING IS IN ORDER, AND READY TO GO COME TOURNEY TIME. THANKS SMITTY YOU RAN A FLAWLESS EVENT!!!! THE OTHER THING I NOTICED WAS DAVE GENZ AT THE RULES MEETING SITTING DOWN AT ALMOST EVERY TABLE, TALKING TO THE ENTRANTS. IM SURE IT MEANS A LOT TO MOST ICE FISHERMAN WHEN A TRUE LEGEND TAKES THE TIME TO SIT DOWN WITH YOU AND TALK ICE FISHING. THANKS DAVE IT MEANS SOMETHING TO ME. WITH SMITTY'S HARD WORK, AND DAVE'S COMMITMENT TO SPREAD ICE FISHING KNOWLEDGE ICE FISHING WILL CONTINUE FOREVER, AND NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. YOU BOTH HAVE EARNED MY RESPECT, AND I THANK YOU... THANKS TO ST. CROIX, VEXILAR, AQUA-VU, MR.HEATER, STRIKEMASTER, YOUR BOBBERS DOWN, LITTLE ATOM, CLAM CORP, BERKLEY, PFLUEGER, AND QUANTUM..........YOUR PRODUCTS PUT THE WINNING WEIGHT ON THE SCALES!!! __ Mark Rusinek"

Jeff was also very excited about the win and sent us and email describing how FISKAS Wolfram Jigs were a key part of their winning strategy.

"I just wanted to send a thank you letter to let you know how great of a product you are putting out. This past weekend my partner and I won the New York Trap Attack and we could not have done it without your jigs. It was absolutely crucial to have a jig that we could get down fast to the schools of perch as they come in, as they did not stick around for long. But with the quality and the weight of your jigs we were able to get back down fast and pick a few perch out of each school instead of just being able to get one fish and then not get the jig back down fast enough before they left. It was a huge part of our strategy to use nothing but FISKAS while we were perch fishing in over 30 feet of water, and it ended up that one of the Wolfram Jigs was also one of our hottest bluegill jigs also. We just can't say enough about your product and we could not have won the tournament without out your company's product. We thank you again and keep up the good work. Sincerely, Jeff Falkowski"

Mark added in a separate email, "On FEB 4 my fishing partner and I took 1st place in the New York Trap Attack. I just wanted to THANK YOU for making the best jigs out there today. Your jigs helped us put a winning weight on the scales on Sunday!!! As long as your making jigs I'll be using them. THANK YOU MARK RUSINEK"
