[cool][#0000ff]You should also use small bits of perch meat. A lot of the larger fish you catch through the ice at Mantua are full of little fishies...bluegill and perch fry. They eat meat.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I generally tip a small jig with about a half inch piece of worm. For larger jigs I use two small pieces of worm. I seldom use a longer piece of worm unless working the jig a lot for walleyes...and then I might use a 2 inch piece of worm hooked through the end so it wiggles enticingly on the lift and drop.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I used to take three or four different types of "foo foo" baits on the ice. Very costly and they do not hold up long if not used quickly. They also do not generally work any better than worms or perch meat. However, at the end of the season, when there is poor visibility (thick snow and ice) and low oxygen...a small jig and single waxie is hard to beat.[/#0000ff]
