Favorite ice jig rigs

[MACMAN]

I used to use a spoon above my ice fly, but tungsten jigs has changed that. I’m now using rods that have a tip section as sensitive as a spring bobber (I hate spring bobbers). A 5mm tungsten has enough weight to load the tip so you can see up bites. This is for pan fish, for trout I still don’t use a spoon flasher if I have a tungsten head or fish 1/8 oz lead. Much less tangles. If a spoon is the trigger, I just use that. The $5 per tungsten is pricey, but it’s worth it. I take 5 pre rigged rods and never change lures unless I really dial down on a pattern. I hardly ever loose set ups ice fishing.
