The simplest definition of a ice jig is that it is a weighted hook and then when you add a live bait or a soft plastic it then becomes a ice fishing lure. The VMC Moon Eye Jig Head is one good choice for ice fishing and comes with various weights for everything from panfish to muskey and some are available rigged with plastic. The 1/16-ounce VMC Nymph and Wingding are two examples for panfish. The 1/4-ounce Storm Searchbait Shad 360GT is a choice for northern pike and lake trout.
