FishFinder Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 dont waste your money on lures, save it for minnows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUKDONFAWNIX Posted January 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Should I at least buy some glow in the dark jig heads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistyriver1 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Grab yourself a few Rapala jigging raps. A swedish pimple (which you can tip with minnows) are also pretty good. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistyjr1 Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Here's what I prefer over minnows: Small Rapala Jigging Raps get the skinny ones not the fat ones, Bright coloured jigs heads (no larger than 1/4oz), Little spoons, I've heard Rattlin' Rapalas are good as well, If you are going to use minnows get spreaders. Now all you need are the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcallister.grant Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi there, I have had a lot of success for walleye with the following: 1) Swedish Pimple (Yellow/Neon Green) 2) Salmo Chubby Darter (All colors) 3) Rapala Vertical Jig (large/skinny) 4) Jig-A-Whopper (Neon Green/Yellow) *** Numbers 1 & 4 are tipped with 2 minnows*** You may ask why... On most occasions, in my experiences; the walleye tend not to be very agressive. In saying that they will inhale your minnow with out even feeling it or you may feel a slight tap. So, in the event that they steal one of your minnows, you can keep the lure down there in the strike zone in an attempt to get him to strike again.
