here is a jigging stick



a couple live minnow hookups for your tip up

on the jigging stick you will see that there is a holographic sweadish pimple tied on the line. about a foot aboge the pimple (or any other jig you would like to use, including the fire balls used on live minows) you need to tie on a barrol swivel this will reduce line twist from jiging.

line twist can become a problem especialy on spinning reels should you decide to go that route.

on this hook up I use the lower half of a dead minnow dropping it all the way down to the bottom of the lake and start working my way back up to the top.

you can use just a spool of line, I sugest you go with what the pro's use because it will allow you go get back to the bottom faster, the stick is easer to hold on to than just a spool.

with your gloves on you will pull the line up hand to hand. taking the top hand to pull up the line and the bottom hand to hold on to the line. this way if you get a big one you can let it run and you wont get line burns or line cuts in your hand. this is where the light gloves come in handy.

this lure can be used on a spinning reel and a short ice fishing rod of medium to heavey action.

I use a spinning rod myself, but for some one who is only going out one time, or wants to learn about the sport prior to investing any money into it, this is the way to go.
