ok so i got an ice fishing rod and reel combo with a few jigs and grub type baits from berkley. i got 3 pound test and if i get a pretty good sized bass or catfish it wouldnt the line break? so my question is when jigging through the ice do i need some type of monofilament leader attached to a barrel swivel? or do i just tie it on directly to the 3 pound test? thanks.
Where I fish mostly (a small lake and campground) we use mostly 4 or 6 lb, and usually the same baits as in warmer weather. For jigging I think you're better off tying directly to the line but I use a snap swivel anyway and use a leader 4 lb or so about 2 ft long. I put wax worms or redworms on the jigs. I use crawlers, small bluegill cut in half, or liver if I want cats. Small minnows work good for bass and crappie. I don't use an ice rod, I get the cheap kid's rod/reel combo that's about 2-1/2 feet long. Works just as good.
