Do you use them? Any DIY on best way to construct them? Thinking of branching out my walleye arsenal. Stop laughing. ;D


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!!
