I like to reverse the order with the ice jig first. Then I tie leader to the bend of the hook just before the barb. This way the heavy lure hits the bottom of the lake first and that is when I close the bail. Then I try to keep it as close to the bottom as I can while holding the pole and watching for a strike. The fish will often hit before I can even close the bail and start to real it up of the bottom.DKS
