Depends on your lake,the lake I fish,is full of zoo planton,small glow jigs,like Rafinkee's size 12 w/two mags seems to make the hatch so to speak.If you see crappies at night on your machine,they will tell you what they want,I mostly jig for gills and crappie,I take 7 to 10 rods with different lures on them,this gives me option to switch on them quickly,because sometimes you don't have a small widow on time to ice fish,a lot of times I'll rip a few fish and then get lookers,a quick change of lures will useally produce more fish(but not always).At least have 2-3 three rods rigged.I'm a little bit of a nut and tend to go over board with the rods,and it's very hard to tie (to see) 2 or 3 lb test at night with my 57 year old eyes.If your working with aggressive fish,they will hit larger offerings,Frosty's,Forage Minnows,Slender Spoons all have iced fish when their pounding,a clean Ratso's may be the best all round lure,it spanks them when their pounding and gets then on the most negative bite. Use Glow anything,hope this helps.
