Jigs, Chatterbait. And I catch fish dragging worms all year to.

Thanks for the advice but I was looking for a specific lure. Not just a type of lure like a jig. Also, how would a lipless crankbait be effective under the ice?

 

 

You can jig it up and down.

Yep, I was reading how the lipless crank that we know it today evolve from a similar lure northern anglers used to use for ice fishing. Check it out: http://www.jimporter.org/articles/article117.shtml

 

If you think of it, jigging a lipless crank thru the ice is pretty much the same as a yo-yo retrieve you'd use in the winter. I understand that the yo-yo still produces the bait to go horizontal during the time your reeling up slack line, but the action you're looking for is more vertical.

 

Just my $0.02 worth.

 

I'll take either a Jig or a Lipless Crank as my year round lure. They both can produce multi species of fish year round.
