I call it a 'system' because it's the newest way for ice anglers to take full advantage of "long-rodding," a technique once limited to the playbooks of European tournament anglers and a handful of in-the-know stateside sticks. Much like you'd approach a trout stream-crouched to prevent fish from noticing your movements-shallow water ice fishing requires stealth. Especially in situations of little or no snow cover, sitting back from the hole with the Jiggler prevents beefy shallow-water pans and 'eyes from vacating the area. And even when there is snow, shallow water fish can sense movement and variations in light from above. Orienting yourself 48- to 54-inches back from the hole definitely puts the odds in your favor.
