What are your favorite lures to throw on set line? I’m looking to add some variety beyond the plain hook under my rattles this year.
Big old green/glow or pink/glow custom jigs and spins Glow Demon.
^^^ I fish these (more so the pink/glow version) in my house quite frequently and do almost always have one on. Also, those glass eye ones that have the 90 degree hook that holds the minnow horizontal. To me they don’t look like they should fish as well as they do but man some weekends they’re money.

What a sicko…. I have 96 degrees on a shaded driveway thermometer right now and you want to talk ice fishing.
I also use a demon. But mine is a white glow with a red stripe down the middle. I got the first one on a trip to Red Lake. Since then the bait shop down the street has them custom made.
I even use them under a bobber in the summer.
If not plain hook and split shot I would go with glow demons or gem-n-eye style jigs
Used a Venom Inferno Spoon in red for years on LOTW n Red Lake, also have the Flutter Spoon. My go to and I have numerous ones in most colors but the red does the best.
on my tipups I use either a a treble hook or a single glow or gold hook depending on the size of the minnows/chubs I am using and what I hope to catch. I do use a glow red bead on them all though
I a slip bobber rod, I generally use some type of single hook spoon

This make me laugh. Agree with most here either a plain hook, pink or chartruese depending on the lake or a demon style spoon.
When set up in the wheelhouse and using larger minnows for an overnight soak, I take the hook off a a glow buckshot rattle (or similar spoon/jig) and tie on a short dropper. The weight of the jig will limit the radius the minnow can swim, while the dropper will allow it to move a little more naturally. The glow can draw them in, and they can bite the plain hooked minnow.

This for me. The demon is my go to. Either green or pink

This is the time to order your custom ice rods if you want them in time for hard water. I will only make so many rods a year and I am already filled for this year.
Clam Leech Flutter Spoon. Tons of added flash and a fly on the treble. Worked really well for me on Red last winter. Or a rattle spoon.
