Another advantage to this heavier jig is the commotion it can cause. There are times when the fish will

strike if the brush is bumped a little harder, knocking off a very slight amount of debris, or hitting the
bottom when fish are holding close to that area. It can slightly stir up some of the debris on a flat or
rocky bottom, which many times makes a fish investigate what may be burrowing.

I carry at least 4 fully rigged Frabill Ice Hunter rod/reel combos. One always has a Diamond tied on.
Because there are several sizes and colors, I start with one that may be the best choice for the depth
and body of water being fished – usually a medium size in a glow color, or a metallic jig with Glow-On
painted on the bottom or top half. Of course, as with all fishing this will possibly change during the day,

but at least it is ready to go for any of the aforementioned situations.
