i want to know what is your best lure for catching walleye???
-
this is too easy for me...i have 2.....rapala taildancer for cranking....and rapala shad rap deep diver for trolling......2 of the best artificial lures ever produced for catching the big hawgs......bar none....Grump
-
For open water my two favorite lures are a curly tail grub about 3" long on a 1/4 ounce jighead, and a tie between a lipless crank and a rebel wee crawfish.
For ice fishing, I will almost always use swim baits. A #5 jigging rap is my favorite. Gold or Orange color.

i was talking about icefishing lure.for myself its silver Swedish jig and silver tingler. :)
-
I like a chartreuse and orange 1/4 oz jig (3/8 or 1/2 oz in fast river water) tipped with a 3" frozen salted minnow. That's my most successful lure for walleye.

Northland Buckshot Rattle Spoon in orange/glow. Also Northland Forage Minnow.
-
the white glow repala works for me

Hey elkman, Cabela's has the chubbydarter. However, they tend to be a little expensive although I bought several myself. Haven't had a chance to use them as of yet. Hope this helps. :tipup:
tight lines

I like the swedish pimple silver or gold
-
I ordered 2 of the chubby darters from Cabelas yesterday.They are spendy at 16.00$ for 2 with shipping but if they catch walleye then they are worth it.Got one in dace and one in perch.Both are 1 5/16.Hope they work!!!!

Silver and blue Acme castmaster, about 1/4 oz size, tipped with both halves of a fat head seems too work well also. It would probably be easier asking what the best beer is. :D
-
you can't beat the Fire Tiger Jiggin' rap
-
swedish pimple 1/4 ounce and green flash with a minnow head and a minnow tail
-
How about that williams wobbler, silver? Works great for me. I put a glow in the dark eye on it near the hook and either use whole minnow or just the head.
-
Glow Swedish Pimple.
-
black and silver #7 jigging rap for a swimmer and a 1/4 glow pimple.
-
Buckshot jigging spoon tipped with 3 perch minnows. If the eyes are fussy then downsize the jig......been my go to bait for 3 years...
-
Another vote for chubby darters. I've developed confidence in these and it may be a selffullfilling prophecy now.

used them on pike they work
-
the one in my box that is scratched all to hell and or has no paint on it.
-
For open water i LOVE bouncing jig heads with softplastics (twistertails, leeches, grubs) but through the ice virtually always on tippys with minnow
-
Hey Elkman the closest place that has them around Casper is Walkers VP in Shosoni. They were Around 7 dollars there. I got my others off of the internet but I would definitely check at Walkers. I even catch trout off of them so it is a very versatile lure.
-
don't catch much walleye but trying out the chubby darter... does anybody bait the hooks? or do you just fish it right out of the box??

I was wondering the same thing.
I use fire tiger rap #7
-
for ice fishing, i like sweedish pimples, gold and silver
-
The one they want that day. ;)...In all seriousness, i really love to fish jigs and spoons.....Fireball jigs and my homemade Adam Bombs, then for spoons, #1 DO Jiggers and Cleos/BPS flashy times...in 1/8 1/6 and 1/4 oz.
-
chrome and black, glow jigging raps. chartruse or orange whistler jigs. and of course a good supply of glow jigheads. 2 inch stinger hook ALWAYS!

2-- darters all sizes
3-- pimples all sizes
4-- buckshot northlands
5-- minnow on a jig head
