The proper way to jig

[fishluvr]

I've never tried this but I have heard of some success with it. The person I talked to puts on whatever jigs he uses for ice fishing on a leader, the length of the leader changes depending on whether he finds fish or not, then he drops the jig straight down below a bubble that he can see on top of the water. The wave action does the jigging and he slowly pulls it towards himself every so often. You have to make sure you match the bubble size to how much weight you have on your jig. I don't know for sure what jigs he used but he said it worked great. I think he at times had a leader of up to five or six feet long below the bubble.

Give it a try, if it works let us know.

A question I have of my own on jigging is how do you keep from snagging things on the bottom when you are bottom bouncing? I hate losing jig after jig on bottom stuff.
