Whenever I ice fish I start of my day jigging with a bigger presentation like a buckshot or a jigging spoon. This will get the fish excited and you can also tell what the fish will like. If that is working and you are getting a lot of bites, you will want to keep that bigger jig on since it is obviously working. But, if you are marking a lot of fish but they are not biting you will want to switch to a smaller presentation and finesse the fish more. Using this smaller jig head will encourage the fish to bite since it is smaller than that jigging spoon. When I get small jigs I buy frostbite tungsten jigs. Having tungsten is very important because they are more dense than led and will sink to the bottom faster. They also have a lot more feel and that will help you catch fish with a lighter bite.
