I've never had alot of success with jigging Rapalas but lots of walleye are pulled out of Honeoye every winter with them. A couple of things I highly recommend though . Replace the treble with a larger one and bend the front hook down. Too many times I have seen the front hook catch on the bottom of the hole and that's all the leverage a nice fish needs to get off.
Greetings allTwo years ago I did well on Honeoye Lake in NY jigging with Kastmasters. I would get 1 or 2 eyes every time I went. Last year I did not do well on them at all much to my surprise. This year I decided to increase the arsenol. A lot of people speak highly of rapalas and I have gotten a little more dedicated to using them this year. Have not caught an eye on one yet.What kind of technique do you use with them? With Kastmasters, I tip them with a piece of minnow and I just raise them up real slow and let them fall and then let them sit for 20 seconds and repeat. Should I use the same technique with the rapalas? Or should I jig them faster? Got any hints or suggestions?Thanks.....Rob
