Ive caught alot of Walleye through the ice at a number of Saskatchewan lakes and I have never had any luck with a Chubby Darter or Lindy Lindy Darter. I see the fish quickly come up on these baits and quickly leave. I then put on a Jig-a-Whopper "Hauger Spoon" and boom...fish on. Only minnow baits that work real well for me are Jiggin Raps.
The only thing the Lindy and Salmo share is the name darter. Yes there are some similarities in the technique of working the lure but the Salmo Chubby Darter has a lot more feedback while the Lindy Darter is very dead. I could say the Salmo Chubby Darter represents a dying spazzing fish while the Lindy Darter represents a dying barely moving fish.
