For Pike:
1)20# Mono leader 12-18".
2)Bigggest Golden Shiner you can find, strip some scales off of it with your finger nails making sure they fall down your hole. Hook #4 size treble behind dorsal fin so minnow fights downward.
3)Set your minnow just under the ice in shallows, about 1-3 feet under the ice for deeper water. Keep minnow out of weeds.
4)If the minnow sets off your Beaver dam, slide a O-Ring on to the horizontal T-Part of the spindle, and set flag between it and the verticle part of the spindle. Large fish will trip flag, minnow will not.
GRAB A COLD ONE AND WAIT FOR ACTION!
For Eyes:
1)6# mono leader 12-18".
2)#6 single hook with blaze orange bead threaded on to leader up from hook.
3)Medium golden shiners for bait. Scrape off a little scales on one side of minnow and hook through back behind dorsal fin.
4)Set minnow 6-10 inches off of bottom.
