We used to fish airplanes in SD for Walleye, Salmon and and big Brookies under the ice. I remember them working really well around first ice when fish were still pretty aggressive early in the season. The jigs have a lot of action so you don't necesarily need to constantly "jig" them, more like a quick lift 3-4" up and then drop your rod tip quick until you feel the jig float to the end of the slack, let it sit for a second and repeat!
