Those double treble hooks are a nightmare, even though I always pinch the barbs. If you have to release the fish, and that second treble hook is getting stuck in that fish's eye, it feels terrible. I catch walleye by trolling single-single or single-treble hooks so I can let the big breeders go unharmed. But where I live I have to release a lot of fish so that makes a difference.
I use just a size 6 octopus hook and a night crawler. I use a three way swivel an 18" leader and. 8 ounce pyramid weight. I fish off the land though too
The position of the snap is not for the diving action (the "diving" is unimportant for the fishing method) it is the setting for how much vibration you want the lure to make when jerking or spinning it. Because traditionally you spinnfish with these kind of lures.
Not sure if its a stupid question, but with lures that come with a snap included (on chatterbaits and blade baits), if you are using your own snap, do you replace the lure's snap with the one you have tied on, or have connect the snap to the lure's snap? (Say that 10 times fast). Please and thanks for any feedback. I prefer using snaps opposed to tying directly to line.
We do a lot of jigging from the shore in the Detroit and St Clair Rivers (michigan and ontario). Look up Win City Outdoors or Buck Fishes for some pretty grest how to's. Never tried blade baits but I think I'm going to have to pick a few up. These look fun and productive.
Pretty short for us pnwesters lol. I do agree though 20-30 is quite the overkill for walleye but I think the heavy line isn’t for the fish but to avoid breaking off on snags and debris since they’re river fishing.
Yup, both ways can produce. I vertical jig if I see them on the graph, if I don’t see them, then I cast and retrieve it bouncing on the bottom. (Seek and destroy)
