So...I have a bunch of round lead head jigs (various colors) in 1/2 to 3/4 oz. that I use for jigging Walleye in the spring that I'm considering trying through the ice. Maybe tie on a small Hali or other flash just above it. Thoughts?
Nothing wrong with that. My only concern is they might be a bit heavy unless you're fishing very deep water. Or on some really big 'eyes . I use 3/8 to 1/2 in the spring to counter heavy current in rivers but open water heaviest I go for live bait is 1/4. My rule is usually go as light as you can go and still maintain lure control. Swimbait and snap jigging might go 3/8 or a little heavier but that's a little different. As long a you got 'em no harm in playing. I'm always playing with different stuff. Sometimes it someone else's idea, other times it's my pea brain workin' overtime. Some work, some don't but it's always an education I've discovered some really cool things over the years..
