Default How long to jig?

New to ice fishing this year. How long do you guys jig before you swap your jig out for something different when nothing is biting?

If i'm fishing with no flasher I don't change often.

If i'm using a flasher and I see fish coming and going. Uninterested in what i have then i'll change the lure and bait right away.

use the same jig through the various depth/water columns. Try suttle/aggressive jigs and retrievals etc....don't forget to stir up the bottom too and sometimes let it lay there. Have holes 20 yards apart and try all before switching it up....that could take 30 minutes or so....no real answer to fishing.
