I've been ice fishing for 12 years and have never had a flag pop that wasn't my buddies screwing with me.   Don't get it.   A crew of us might have 3 or 4 flags pop on a trip, but it's NEVER mine.

 

You have to put a minnow on the hook! :D

bare hooks, jigs, quick strikes

 

fatheads, suckers, shiners.

 

It's basically just a joke when I put a tip up out.

 

Try leaving it set a little higher in the water off the bottom for pike as they feed up.

I personally recommend using a large gap single-tined hook with a medium sucker or a nice shiner 3/5 or 2/3 of the way down the water column, near weededges or dropoffs. I also keep the bait down via a 1/4 oz egg sinker pegged two or so feet above the line so they stay where they should.

 

Good luck!
