Jaximus, I am also partial to using Nortlhland Whistler jigs in gold or pink. I tip with 3 inch twister tails or Impulse tails. Or Gulp minnows in 4 in size. Sometimes Slimer leeches. When not in the Q ... I will go with live crawlers, leeches or minnows.

I used to go much lighter and use 1/4 oz but I have had greater success with going heavier. 3/4 oz. is what I use  most often. Unconventional ... Yes ... But proven. Bigger walleyes and it is a lot easier to keep your jig vertical when fishing deeper flats or drop offs up to  25 to 30 ft.

The propeller really displaces water and attracts eyes especially in the stained big water lakes I like to fish.

I usually Lindy rig crawler or minnow  harnesses or troll hard plastic lures to locate walleye schools and then jig once I  find where they are.

I use both mono and braids but the last few years I have been using braid. Low stretch and thinner diameter braid allows me to feel the bite better than mono. I still like  8 lb Trilene XL but I have to admit braid is hard to beat for me.

Good fishin'
