What would a preferred rod, reel and line set-up look like for this type of jigging? Level wind?

[RHYBAK]

I use the same rod as I use for Walleye

Better fight

No need for more rods

Hey guys hope all is safe and healthy with everyone.  I just wanted to say I spent alot of time jigging lakers this winter using my hummingbird flasher and am completely hooked.  You can actually see the laker come on the screen and chase your lure up and down.  If he wouldn't take it I would reel as fast as I could away from him and watch him chase it up to 10 feet under the ice until he hit it.  I am hooked.  My issue is how to use the flasher this summer because without watching it happen on electronics takes the fun out of it.  Some guys fishing with me are using normal fish finders with winter transducers and you can see the action just not as clearly as the flasher.  Anyone else ice fish with electronics?

Ozzy,
My friends and I are huge fans of fishing Lakers using the same method you mentioned, we hit a local large heavy using that same technique ( when it freezes that is) . We will utilize soft baits, Swedish pimples and tubes. There is nothing cooler than seeing that chase happen and the hit as the lure comes up. We've thought about trying the same technique on our trips up to Canada but haven't really gone full bore on it.  Not sure if using the fish finder would work as well as the flashers that we use?  Maybe someone else uses this same method and can answer that question?

Rhybak, I’m going to need schooled on jigging for trout if I’m able to make my trip in July. I’m very disappointed that the border closure kept me from the Rhybak school of trout jigging.
