The gills and crappie tore 'em up a week after ice out on my little pond. Haven't fished it or ice jigs since tho.

Just wondering if anyone has had any success using the vast number of ice fishing jigs at times other than winter freeze. I understand most are designed for vertical jigging presentations, but could you recommend any that could be used to cast & retrieve? I fish in northern VA, mostly on small lakes and reservoirs.

Those are great for year round fishing. I would not just limit them to "hard" water but put a waxworm on them and the "Soft" water fish love them too.

You can also add a minnow's head on the hook. This works like a charm!
Fishing is an addiction and I'm trying to dose up daily!!!
Thanks for the "tipping" tips guys. Sometimes hard to find good bait around here, but I was thinking about trying some of the Berkley Honeyworms for tipping. Would you recommend I stick with a vertical presentation if using ice fishing jigs, or will slow retrieves work as well?
Seen a Midwest crappie episode a few weeks ago, Tournament in florida,
Crappie usa, and those guys (amateur & pros) were doing pretty good
spider rigging with ice fishing jigs. (again in FLORIDA)

Im never without a bunch of ice jigs, and we dont get ice in Los Angeles.

When summer hits and we start night fishing all we use are ice jigs with waxworms and minnows. Both vertical and horizontal jigs.
