artificial walleye jigging presentations?

[troutcrazy]

I know it's a long shot, jigging walleye on Champlain, but it's my current obsession.
 
Does anybody have walleye presentations that don't involve a minnow?

Every video I watch and every article I read tells me to tip my lure with a minnow head.  Slender Spoons, Buckshot Spoons, Rattlemasters, Jigging Rapalas, Hyper Rattles... all tipped with minnow heads.

My problem is I don't really want to mess with minnows.  Nothing against it in principle-- I just find it to be a pain in the neck.

I found one video where some guys were tipping Buckshot Spoons with little panfish plastics.  They caught some.  But obviously it was their job to advertise the plastics.

I managed to catch one short walleye on Carmi, with a thin strip of cut perch on a Rattlemaster.

Also with the Lindy Glow Streak;

Awesome!  I meat to pick up a Chubby Darter or two but never did.  Those pics are inspiring!  Looks like you're catching them at night?

Thanks!  I had a feeling that the little pink plastics that I use for crappies might work.  Now I just have to find the fish

The magic hour!
For some reason I get interested in the nocturnal fish.  Crappies.  Walleyes I started fishing last spring and I was instantly hooked.  And stripers!  I only started fishing for stripers in August-- and boy did I get obsessed!  I made a lot of trips to MA with my kayak.  I may have slept in my car more than I slept in my house in August and September  .  I'm so psyched to head down in the spring.

Northland tackle mimic minnow shads (3/8oz) work well for jigging, and even casting for walleye (and lake trout).

Those look pretty sweet, thanks.
