ssauvain Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Going to Birch Lake in Mid-July and how do I get my shad raps, and stick baits down deep to the larger walleyes?

OhioFisherman Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Never used any of those devices, if I want something to run deeper I take a slip or egg sinker and put it on the line like a carolina rig. Never really used anything heavier than 1 ounce maybe, and only for trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Offshore snap weights are the ticket! You can change the weight you use to any application and the depth they will travel is dependant on the amount of line let out. Simple easy and flexible.

Victor Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 maybe try using bottom bouncers? I've never used them much but that's an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just2manylures Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 I seen a product on TV called sticky weight. You stick it on your line like silly puddy and it is weight. Maybe worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 those chain weights that someone mentioned to you work great. you use them to connect your mainline to your lead.....often braid to flouro, with the chain weight in the middle.... i like to run 7' leads from the weight to the lure. your other option, the better option, would be to spool up a larger reel with five colour leadcore..... but really, you have lots of options.

Markystang Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 If you're trolling, check out the fish seeker. I've used them a couple times with success. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s...p;currentPage=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zib Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) Use some Offshore snap weights or lead core line. You can also try the mini dipsey divers. Edited March 20, 2007 by Zib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garyv Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Rubber core sinkers work great while trolling. I consider them a cheap mans lead core alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
