Funny - but this 'ding dong' stumbled onto the secret method by accident! I spooled up some ice-braid onto a reel that's really not big enough, maybe if I'd spooled some backer first.
So we're in 75ft of water, and I hit "bottom" at about 60 feet. Oh well - swing it. I can see how it works - I had some good looks some 10-20 feet up from bottom. Even Bama watched 'em come watch my jig. Now had I hooked up a fattie, I'd be messed up not having any line to give!
I appreciate any and all info I've found on the Big Blue. This has been my first year to try the ice, and I can already see why folks get hooked.
