Swimbait Walleyes!
Doug Stange talks swimbaits to trigger giant walleyes.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur.
I have never used 1of these lol, it's usually live bait, and rapalas.
Eric…depends on the size of the swimbait….but typically a medium rod will do. Maybe a 6 to 6-6. Bigger baits…maybe go to a heavier rig, but a typical 8 pound setup would do the trick– up to 10 to 12 for a larger bait.
What size rod and reel do you use for Walleye's on Swim Baits?
Doug adds—Occasionally on swimbaits like those we were using I’ll use a snap to attach to the lure if I think I’m going to be switching jighead weights a lot. Mostly I just tie direct with a 5-wrap Trilene knot.
Thanks for the question Stephen–It's all about freedom of movement and switching jigheads. It also makes quick changes easier.
How do you choose when to tie direct versus the clip used to the lure eye? Looks like you had a clip on that shad
that is so one big starchy walleye.
thanks alot, yes it clearifys it some, it's still a relatively new way for me to fish
wow great video, how deep were you fishing in this video? and what was the overall structure you were fishing?
