it's the spoon or bait & presentation, right?

Ice fishing weight indeed!! I haven't seen to many ice weights with a ball bearing swivel.

The three ways tend to tangle especially under "paddle power" where the forward progress on the drop can be inconsistent. The consequences can be a hassle......that is, a spool of twisted and weakened line.

What I especially like about these weights, and it is worth repeating, is the impression of one fish following another. Do not underestimate the triggering effect that can have on an apex predator. It's almost like they despise anyone else having fun and eating on their turf.
