Look up Eric Haataja on YouTube. He uses automatic fisherman and egg sacs with very good sucess.

Eric also makes his own line of ice rods.  Haat Rods.  Expensive, but probably the best you can buy.

100.00 for a home made stick. I'm considering buying a 36" light.

Fished with Eric Haataja a fews years several years back and really his style of fishing for the species your targeting are ideal.  I recommend you look him up.
