Technique notes

• Use a quick-strike rig when you want solid hooksets on pike without letting them swallow the bait too deep.
• Set bait just off bottom or over weed edges, then adjust until you find the depth pike are cruising.
• Keep the bait lively and avoid over-tightening the spool; pike often pick up and move before the flag trips.
• In very cold weather, a thermal tip-up like Frabill Fishing Pro Thermal Tip-up can help keep the hole open and the line running smoothly.

When to switch

• Switch to a heavier or more specialized leader if you’re getting cut off.
• Switch to a thermal-style tip-up if slush, snow, or freezing holes are slowing you down.
• Switch to a different bait presentation if pike are inactive and not committing to live bait under the ice.
