Jigging has increased in popularity within the ice-fishing community. (STEVE ANGERS PHOTO)

Now that we have our hole-drilling equipment ready and our fish-finding equipment tuned up, let’s look at how we offer our lures to the fish and the different baiting options.

The classic way to ice-fish is with a tip-up. Tip-ups are crossed sticks with a reel to hold line under the ice and a flag at the top end that signifies a fish on the line. This rig is used with any type of live bait, power bait or fish eggs. The reel holds a braided Dacron line of various pound strength, a swivel and a snelled hook.
