Another thing is if you are using a wire worm or similar lure, tie it to the line so that it hangs horizontal to the bottom (90 degrees to the line coming down the hole) as this is a more natural presentation.

Quick question though, how would you tie the wire worm horizontally if the eye of the hook is on the head end? would you have to go out and buy a specific wireworm where the eye of the hook is in the center?
Also, would you jig the horizontal worm up and down then afterwards? Since you are ice fishing, i would assume trying to move the horizontal worm horizontally would be a challenge. How would jigging a horizontal worm affect the natural presentation of the lure?
Sorry, newbie here, lots to learn...
