I would agree with this. It does seem that sometimes the fish prefer a certain jig type however, and it often is different than what they were hitting best last week. I would also say that what you tip your jig with often has a greater impact than the jig type. Be prepared with several options.
That said, some fishing buddies have chided me because I bring so little gear onto the hard deck, so you don't need to bring a truckload of stuff onto the ice to be effective.
Lastly, having a fishfinder available is the single biggest tool one could add to really swell your fish counts.
