I used to be a strict plain, colored hook with a big minnow hooked thru the back guy on my tip ups, but I've found a larger ice jig, like the flattened round ones with an eye on them with a big minnow hooked thru the back has produced much more walleyes for me. I think the big jig slows the bait down. I've seen on the camera, lively minnows get away from interested walleyes that weren't motivated enough to chase the bare hook minnows around.
