Jigging Technique

Well, gonna try my hand at jigging. Have always ran tip ups or
speared them
which brings me to my question. While in the shack, sometimes they wil come in hard and fast, other times slow and easy. So...not being able to see them while I'm jigging, I'm thinking maybe I should hold about 2' of line in my non-jigging hand,while jigging, with the bail open. When I know he's taken the lure, release the line, let him run a little bit, close the bail, then set the hook...sound like a plan? Anyone use this technique?

Interesting idea, I dont jig for pike often, but I do have them come in and hammer me while jigging. My camera lets me watch as they give my jig the stare down, but usually when they take a jig they really take it, no need to wait, just set the hook or they will do it for you. I have snapped two panfish rods when a pike hit, my rod tip was to close to the ice and it snapped.

I'll be using a 32" med. action J. Higley graphite, 20# test mono w/ a small, thin plastic coated wire leader, so I'll have plenty of bone. Gonna give those Pike Killa jigs a try.

I usually set my drag just tight enough to stick the hook into them and let them take off. When the drag is set the way I like it, I can peel line off by hand pretty easily, I can always tighten it after I Jab em !

Half of the pikes I've hooked into, I've never seen them on the flasher. They just torpedo'd from outside of my sonar cone.

Got one today 34" on a forage minnow rattle spoon tipped with a perch eye. Was smashing perch with it just raising it and lowering it a few inches with a little wiggle here and there. Just goes to show that the two species can be triggered the same ways, just different size baits (usually)!
It was quite a fight too on my 24" ice blue light action with 2lb mono.

That's a pretty good idea, never thought of that. You're right, I've seem them come in like a missile! So fast you can just see a streak. That technique would work good if he managed to get the jig when going fast. I always had the bail closed because I find 90% of the time they'll miss it first then come back in a little slower, put the brakes on, analyze it, sometimes do a couple more passes, then hammer it. I always use a swedish pimple, Give it a good jig, let it sit for 5-8 seconds or so and repeat. Works good for me.
