Standup style jig with a minnow. I use a walleye flyer but they have been discontinued for a few years but other swim style jig with standup hook would work too. When the bite is slow you set this type of jig right on the bottom and the walleye will suck it up, of course it works great with standard jigging too.

Depends on the body of water.... But in a lake hard to beat a shiner on a small treble or single hook.... On a body of water with current i use a jigging rap or glass rattle jig tipped with a whole or w piece of a minnow... If your state allows i always have a stinger hook for eyes.... Short strikes are common and the stinger helps a lot

I find less is more with walleye. Always nice to get into aggressive walleye and spoon feed them or a swimbait. But a treble a weight and a minnow out fishes everything else. At least for me.

Chrome or gold blade baits or, #5 - 7 jigging raps tipped with a minnow head. (same colors). In all my years, I've only caught 2walleye here in Colorado on live minnows  ??? ???

 I’m lucky as there is great eye fishing from good eaters to giants all within a hour , mostly jigging raps tipped with minnow head some guys run them bare   , colors  and size vary , from 5s-13 , now the biggest you can buy 9s
 Slender spoons , Kast master also work

from aggressive to negative:
1 - live target golden shiner
2 - acme hyper hammer or hyper glide
3- PK spoon with a minnow head
4 - jig and a minnow on bottom

start the day with #1,2 and work my way down to #4. Once 3-4pm rolls around I work back Up to #1. But it all depends on the fish's mood, stayed with a live target golden shiner all day last Monday and caught this one at 1:30pm
