Ken

This would be as close as you could get. I fish this way year round

Sounds like fun . Here is a picture of a Japanese ice fishing rig. They fish it with about a #30 hook and 1/2 lb test

They work great joe! I have fished these jigs year-round for several seasons

But, there is a part two involving the line twist issue you spoke of. This time of year I have a particular method to deal with that. Hope to get details up soon.

Atta boy Joe!

Tony , this will work. These jigs are designed for the slow type feeding of cold water gills. Should have no trouble with large gills. Would recommend 1 or 1.5 lb test since cols water gills are line and twist sensitive. 

Have fun

if he puts his technique in front of big fish i believe they will bite.. now the next question would be will his tackle stand up repeatedly to large bull gills?
