Set lines, also known as a deadstick, are one of the most effective tools in ice fishing when used correctly. In this video, Kyle Peterson explains how to rig a set line, when to use it, and why it consistently catches fish across a wide range of conditions. A set line allows live bait to move naturally with very little resistance. This leads to longer bites and better hooksets on crappies, bluegills, walleyes, pike, and even bass moving through the area.

In this video, Brent Ehrler breaks down the real-world differences between a wacky rig and a neko rig. While both presentations look similar at first glance, they serve very different purposes on the water. Understanding those differences helps anglers choose the right tool for the depth, cover, and fish behavior they face.
