 thanks, going to stop at dick's sporting and pick up acouple this week and give them a shot for lakers. was out by a couple hardside shacks the other day, and when i stopped in to see how they were doing, they were watching a half dozen lakers swimming around there bucktails and swedish pimples on the camera. the fish didn't seem interested at all. i had a bunch of follows on the flasher where i was 20 yards away, using jigging rapala and airplane jig so, i figure i'll try throwing a soar at them this week. don't think many people here in n.h. use them, so, might be the the way to put 'em on the ice.

I have had success with a plain mepps Agila #0 jiggin for perch. Bounced it off the bottom a few times and on a short retrive they would hit it on the way up.

Have had good results in the past with cicada jigs in gold and silver

 i got the tiger stripped stickers from tnt tackle boy that makes a huge difference in their appereance they look store bought with the 3-d eyes on them. But i do t=like the ones that rattle made by heddon

not sure if this counts, but at times ive done well on the small jigs with a small blade or two that dangles from behind the head of the jig... usually was hit on the drop when the blades were fluttering

i use them for lakers when i am home in canada... gold ones worked for me but that was the lake i was on i think

good success with them, not great but good

Walleye's like the Vibe. I found the key to using them is to keep em moving. Short quick pumps seem to trigger strikes.
