How do you choose the right jig for walleye fishing? Have you ever stared at an entire wall of jigs wondering where to even begin? I created this video to break down jig styles into manageable pieces of information that will help you narrow your search so you can find the perfect jig for the job at hand. Whether it’s pitching jigs on a river system, snap jigging plastics on a natural lake, or dialing in the perfect live bait jig on a reservoir, this video will help you pick the perfect jig for your application. Check out any of the links below to compare jig colors, prices, styles etc. Also check out any of the plastics below to see the ones featured in this video.

I agree 100% with what was shared in this video. This presentation is one of the very best synopsis’ on jig qualities and applications produced. (particularly for the novice to using jigs). Couple items to add: In finesse, neutral to negative fish moods, most always try to use the lightest weight jig you can get by with; the reason being that it gives the walleyes just a bit more time to see the bait, but most importantly the lighter the jig the easier the fish has to “inhale” and get it into their mouth. Secondly, shortly after Northland Tackle introduced the Titanium Weed Guard Stand Up Jig a couple of years ago, I was at the factory in Bemidji and got to talking about that jig with a couple of pro-staffers. My suggestion to them was to offer that jig in “gold”. Their response was: “For sure, but you know what?” “Draw a line south of Brainerd, and few people know of the qualities of gold on catching walleyes”. We all agreed: “Seriously ??? !!!!” So a tip to everyone whom reads this: Use GOLD !!!!. Again, a great video this was.

@calebwistad Месяц назад

Thanks for the extra tips! And yes. Gold is great!

This is arguably the best jig-head tutorial on RU-vid. And that's saying a lot due to the vast amount of videos I watch on jig fishing and walleye presentations. There is no question that your teaching methods and calm but concise explanations are largely responsible for the lion's share of your subscriptions. I'm legitimately astounded that your channel does not have ten times the subs that it does right now. I'm rarely motivated to even sign in, let alone comment on videos such as this. I sub'd and I'm looking forward to binging on more of your content. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.

Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, ru-vid.comUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

I am looking forward to lake toothy critter fishing, but like many of us, I can't justify buying another boat. Had one several years ago, and the two best days were when it was bought and then finally sold. I'm hungry to know how to shore fish for walleye, as well as Esox, esp. in summer.

Wow. As previously said, this is a great jig-head video. I know this will help with my walleye catching. I can also see an application of your tips for my new hobby of tying walleye hair jigs using standard lead ball jigs. I have started using plyers and flat metal to re-shape or flatten the sides of the lead ball heads to more of a pill shape so I can paint then and glue eyes on the sides. I think I can also create some of the other shapes you discuss using lead ball head jigs and plyers. I am walleye fishing with my daughter May 12-15, 2024.. I can hardly wait to try out some of your tips. Thanks so much for the video.

If I had to pick one jig for river walleyes it would be a long shank round ball. I can buy them cheap bulk and the bronze hook bends easy. Med light rod and 6# mono will float an 1/8oz jig and 4” plastic ringworm or slim paddle tail at the perfect rate for 90% of small river fishing. I rarely switch to 3/16 but will with bulkier plastics. I catch a hundred walleyes ever year on just a lead colored jig.

I’ve had such good luck with plastics alone and you can get more casts in if you aren’t re-baiting all the time. There are days where live bait really shines too but I rarely pair them anymore.

1 The lead is covered in paint, 2 The lead is not ingested. They would be toxic is the walleye swallowed them, that being said we've used lead sinkers forever and fish are not dying from lead poisoning, so Toxic is extreme. So as with society lets not paint a catastrophe where none exists. Other than that thanks for the info it was very helpful.

@calebwistad Месяц назад

I was not describing a catastrophe, nor was I talking about fish being impacted by the lead. I was merely saying that tungsten is more environmentally friendly than lead because lead is indeed a toxic metal. It’s primarily birds that end up ingesting lead when taking in gravel for their crops. Do I think it’s an emergency and we should ban lead in fishing tackle like California did? Absolutely not. I think it should be up to the individual if they want to use lead or go a different route and tungsten just gives a nice option for those who are concerned about environmental impact. Do I personally choose tungsten over lead purely for environmental reasons? No. I do not.

Tungsten is not denser than lead. Tungsten is No. 74 on the periodic table. Lead is No. 82. The elements go in order by density. Lead is denser, therefore heavier for a given size. Other than that, great presentation, very informative.

@calebwistad 5 месяцев назад

Here are the facts: Tungsten has a room temperature density of 19.3 g/cm^3. Lead has a room temperature density of 11.34 g/cm^3, thus if you weight a bar of equal volume of tungsten vs lead, the tungsten would be heavier by 1.47 times. I don’t believe that the order in which they appear on the periodic table changes those facts.

You're right. Tungsten is denser than lead. Tungsten is 1.7 times denser than lead and weighs 0.7lbs per cubic inch.. lead weighs 0.4lbs per cubic inch so this guy has got his facts about the periodic table a little mixed up!

That's not true at all. Tungsten is 1.7 times denser than lead actually.

Great info....my favorite jig is white

Thanks! White is always a safe bet!

Well I'm sure it's more than just a few lead jigs being lost. More like hundreds but I understand your points. I'm sure with the damage we already have done to this planet, lead jigs and the bottom of lakes are the least of our worries. Very informative videos though. Thank you for the response!

@calebwistad 3 месяца назад

Yes. And thanks for the comment too! Have a good one.

@@calebwistadthank you for the information. I learned a lot!

If you're losing a lot of jigs and most of them are lead won't that cause a lot of unnecessary toxicity to the lakes? I wouldn't be encouraging lead jigs just cause they're cheap if they're adding toxins to the lakes. Very informative video without a doubt but I wish you were a little more environmentally concerned with regards to the lead jigs.

There are many different viewpoints on lead and its effect on the environment. From my understanding, if lead is not ingested, breathed in as dust or absorbed through direct skin contact, it’s not toxic. Lead does not dissolve in water. The only real impact lead may have then, is if wildlife somehow manages to ingest the lead. I don’t see that as a concern for a few lead jigs snagged on structure or down in the rocks. It makes more sense that waterfowl may pick up lead shot scattered across the bottom while foraging for gravel for their crops, which is why lead shot is banned for waterfowl hunting. Lead is a common element found in its natural state all over the earth and again, I don’t feel that a few lead jigs are going to negatively impact the environment to a level that warrants banning them or expecting people to switch. That’s my viewpoint and maybe you disagree, but that’s why I did not recommend that people cease using lead jigs. If you think about it, the paint used on any lure is probably just as toxic to wildlife as lead would be.
