Title: Re: Jig Spinners and Spinnerbaits

This is my go to rig for walleyes when I am jigging and sometimes even trolling:

#3 Gold Betts jig spinner with a wide gap 1/4 oz jig and dressed with a 4" Kalin's grub either Bright White or Chartreuse Copper
The wide gap hook is important because of the size of the dressing. Hook ups are better with more hook exposed.

It's important to remember that this rig must be kept moving to take advantage of the flash of the blade except when in current and that's where they really shine (pun intended).

A deadly technique is to cast out as far as possible and let the jig spinner sink and then reel it in only fast enough to just tick bottom occasionally, called slow rolling. Especially good in pools below rapids and falls.
