How to Ice Fish Walleye with the Drop Shot Rig

Using a combination of jigging and setlines is a proven 1-2 punch that produces walleyes throughout the ice fishing season. Mille Lacs Lake fishing Guide Tony Roach has adapted his open water drop shot system to target walleyes through the ice. Although jigging can outperform, few anglers will deny the day-in-day-out effectiveness of a lively minnow unable to escape.

Tony shares several reasons why the drop shot rig has become his go-to setline over more traditional setups such as tip-ups and conventional dead sticking with a split shot rig. Roach walks us through the process of setting a dead stick drop using a wire rod holder and loose spinning reel drag. A quality rod, reel and line set up improves landing ratios through better fish-fighting efficiently over handlining methods.

[@BudjetBassin]

Awesome video!Lots of great info

[@basschaser9356]

Deadstick and ifishpro is only effective in warmer days . But when its -10 it best for tip up like frabil. Can't wait to hit up mille lac next week

[@FlacoSix5one]

Surprised he wasn't just running an Okuma Ceymar or Avenger bait feeder.

[@Rothydot]

What’s the name of the rod?

[@brettmontey8762]

How did you hook your minnow?

[@jackmasters9953]

Place a doubled rubber band on the front cork, open the bail and take a loop of line and place under the rubber band. The fish will pull the loop of line from the rubber band to the open spool. Close bail, fight fish, land fish. Smile. No need to mess around with your drag anymore. Easy stuff 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣😃😃😃🐟🐟🐟
