Title: Re: Lindy rigs Post by TomT on Feb 9th, 2018 at 1:30am HighnDry wrote on Feb 8th, 2018 at 10:55pm:
I used to fish walleyes with this rig a lot. I mainly used night crawlers, I would blow air into them with a needle to suspend them but have used leeches too. It's a simple rig really. The lindy "walking" weight a barrel swivel and short shank worm hook. I would use a mono leader of about 18" between hook and swivel with the weight right behind. Side note, I sometimes would put on a floating classic 3 or 4 inch rapala instead of the worm hook. I caught what I think is my largest smallmouth bass this way. It was 1988 on Sarah Lake in Quetico. I was in 25-30 feet of water working it in a jerking fashion on the bottom. Oh yeah, I caught a football!! |
