@@willsworldoutdoors they are the forerunner of glide baits, jigging raps, shiver minnows etc. first one available to me in the south was a silver buddy, developed by Billy Westmoreland a famous smallmouth guide on Dale Hollow, then came the Heddon Sonar. I’m 69 so I’m talking many years ago. Last April at Green Bay and Sturgeon bay my biggest walleyes were caught on blade baits while everyone else was throwing hair jigs.
another great video! if you do the slow retrieve with the rod top down- move your line to the forward hole on the lures back. this will give a nose down presentation.
Thanks for the video we need to keep sharing info with eachother to keep the sport going. I fish erie out of Cleveland. Im finding good size and active walleye 14 to 20 feet down over 57 feet . Catch them on a 3/4 oz. Spinner rig and nightcrawler. A 12 count no undersized fish.dont ignore those high marks on your sonar there is alot going on at that depth
My normal spread working the line out of buffalo is 3 color outside, then 5 color, and downriggers down the middle. Plenty of days that 3 color is hot, even when not marking fish up high.
For crankbaits we use Bandits or Deep Diving Husky Jerks. You can find both at these links to our Cabela’s store: Rapala Deep Diving Husky Jerk: cabelas.xhuc.net/c/4416729/132065/2623?prodsku=2897412&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cabelas.com%2Fshop%2Fen%2Frapala-down-deep-husky-jerk&intsrc=PUI2_895 Bandit Deep Crankbait: cabelas.xhuc.net/c/4416729/1443703/2623?prodsku=2611939&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cabelas.com%2Fshop%2Fen%2Fbandit-lures-walleye-deep-crankbait&intsrc=PUI2_10636 We also use worm harnesses that we make. Let me k ow if you want more info on those.
I don’t have a discount but I do have the link to the baits at Cabela’s in most of my walleye video descriptions. I use 3/4 ounce and anything with chartreuse are my go to baits for walleye. Good luck!
I haven’t tried in a couple weeks but last time I was there some walleye were mixed in with other species. Just not as consistent as deep water schools right now. Thanks for watching!
