Favorite ice jig rigs
#18
You are right, I probably don't know until the line is taut again.

I will say that most of the time when fishing this rig, I like to jig with small quick movements, then once in a while raise it 2 or more feet and let it back down fairly quickly. What has happened is it comes to rest at the original depth (I use a bobber), then either immediately, or after a few seconds pause, the fish bites.

At my age, I don't do much "feel" ice fishing without a strike indicator, like a bobber. When my hands are cold, etc.., I would miss a lot of light bites.

With the bobber, you see the slightest bite, even ones where they are mouthing it and not moving. I have had the bobber move slightly on the surface without being pulled down, or just barely dimple the water surface to microscopically pull it down slightly. I have set the hook with these bites and usually find the hook in the roof of the mouth very close or right at the lips. If fish have lips.

So yes, I don't know, so it is probably a negative for the jig at the bottom the rig setup. Good observation![bobhappy]
