I have not tried hooking a minnow through the lips for ice fishing, would expect to lose a lot of minnows this way.  That is not an issue?

I actually put it through the bottom lip and more through the middle of the nose. If it goes through the nostril it will fall off...gotta be right in the middle. Also if you have a jig that sits more horizontal than vertical, you have to make sure your minnow ends up right side up.

KRASHED:
Forage minnow with a full minnow on it. Works well with parts of minnows as well.

Works wonders in central ontario. I like to drop it to the bottom and then hover 1-2 feet above the weeds. When they are active I slowly jig and reel the lure back in. I've seen time and time again hesitant crappie coming out of the weeds and smashing my lure on the way back up.
