First time Laker chasing

[Big Jeff]

I am heading to Canada mid March for a first attempt at a laker. I am wondering what type of gear I need. I have some medium heavy ice rods but what kind of line do you guys like? I talked to my buddy who was out chasing them this week and he was using buck tail jigs and airplane jigs. I am not familiar with these lures to much. I have a few smaller northland tackle airplanes but I would like to add a few others that people have good success. He used cut sucker minnows do have other advice for bait? Thanks for any help and good luck on the ice.

Check out the BWCA-Duluth-Ely-Range forum as there is a LOT of laker info there.
