What are your favorite jiggin spoons for the hardwater eyes?  Swedish pimples, Strata Spoons, etc.?

Northland's Buck-Shot jigging spoon in either the perch or chartreuse/glow. Sometimes I replace the treble hook with a short dropper and a minnow head.

Im a Kastmaster fan first and foremost - after that its the Swedish Pimple and the Buckshot - like those equally.

Other than at the Bay of Quinte, I always start with a Swedish Pimple, green, chartreuse, or blue prism  tape. At the BOQ, I start with either a Little Cleo or a Pixee spoon. All tipped with fatheads.

Bay De Noc Do Jigger

The Bay de noc do jigger is the best spoon I have used. I use the 1/4 ounce size in silver and chartreuse. Tip this with a small minnow head on one of the trebles. Give one aggressive lift and let it fall, then pause and jiggle for about 20 seconds before repeated the jerk fall.
Politically incorrect, and proud of it.

I always think that jigging raps catch the most fish, but never forget castmasters
if anybody from michigan will help me out with the lakes and stuff up here I'd really appreciate it since I'm new to the area.

I like to use jigging rapala's but you can never go wrong using a swedish pimple for any type of fish.

The best way to catch walleye believe it or not, is a perch colored jig-in-rap with a minnow cut in half, put the head on the front, tail on the back, and switch the minnow every half-hour.  Had great results last year and will never go back to the pimple.  P.S leave some for me!
I wish I was good at ice fishing!

Northland Buckshot Rattle Spoon in orange/glow. Also Northland Forage Minnow.
Have done real well with #5 Jigging Raps in gold color and always replace the bottom hook with a larger high quality treble hook and tip the front hook on the treble with a head from a fathead minnow.
Going to try the new Northland Buckshot Rattle Spoon that come with a glow dropper hook!
From what i'v been hearing they are getting bit on when they are hesitant to bite the regular spoon and minnow set-up!
I'v also had good luck with Custom Jigs and Spins #4 Demons in orange/glow, green/glow, and regular orange/chrome colors! I always use a smaller whole minnow with these jigs either using rainbow chubs, or rosey red minnows that are dyed blaze orange color.
