I was wondering what you guys use for deadsticking. Do any of you use plastics? Minnows? :-\
-
I've had some luck using minnows fished on a Custom Jigs & Spins 'Demon' in Pink/Glo Brite. This is fished under a Jason Mitchell 28" Meat Stick Combo dead stick style. I keep it above the depth of fish seen on my Marcum. Best of luck.

Live minnows for me. Usually under a small jig. Used a small slender spoon the other night and it was the only pole I caught anything on.

thanks guys I will try these! ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Jig and a tail hooked minnow ...EZPZ

Drop shot rig with a fathead hooked behind the dorsal.

Have caught plenty of crappie on a Fiska jig and whip plastic dead sticking it. While jigging another hole or when its time to eat or drink something and just set the pole down on the ice.
-
I always have two holes drilled and leave a deadstick in one and jig in the other..
I like a very small curly tail jig with a hot pink head and white tail tipped with a couple spikes...
Jig a Hali next to it bouncing off the bottom.... ;)
-
I always use minnows. I just use a plain 14 treble hook with a weight about a foot to 18" above the minnow. I usually deadstick with two rods while I jig in the middle of the two. I set one about a foot off the bottom and the other a couple of feet off and then adjust to the marks i see on my vex.

You fish with 3 rods? Ehhhhhh

This is how we set up my pop up shanty when we go out. We each have two deadsticks and and jig the middle.

Usually plastics gets them fusssy fish for me while deadsticking.

A minnow on a #8 gamakatsu octopus hook, #3/0 splitshot, and either tightline it with a noodle rod or use a slip bobber.
I usually put my deadstick on the right, flasher in the middle, and jig in front of me.. Sort of a triangle. That way i can watch the minnow as well as my jig. Quite often i will see a fish stare at the deadstick for a while without eating it and as soon as i jig the deadstick they grab it.
