Ice fishing deep water, first I tie on a small silver spoon or castmaster with no hook to my line. Then 4 to 6 inches below the spoon or castmaster I tie on a really tiny treble hook with 3 maggots. The spoon or castmaster are like little flashers and perch don't hesitate too much to hit the small maggot bait below. Not long jigs for motion but rather a thrumbing trembling motion which is almost like you have a parkinsons tremble in your hand. I will use a 1 inch minnow instead of maggots in lakes with big perch. Perch will swim off with the bait and stop before I set the hook with minnows.
