I always run tipups, last year i ran a barrel swivel about 12-16 inches from from the hook and it helped keep things untangled because the minnow swims in circles and will tangle eventually, we had a day where we got 8 eyes between 2 of us and all 8 were on tipups, i dont put them too far from the shack, i usually have 2 people in 1 shack so ill run 2 tipups per guy and each a jigging rod, but if i was solo i may do the deadstick and jigger combo and a tipup outside
