Walleye Slow Death

[eye-tracker]

Lots of talk last summer on the technique that is simple to do now that Mustad has the hook on the market.
This has been one of my favorite techniques for years when walleye will not touch a jig or spinner. It just plain works and you can also run it with a chunk of a Berkley Gulp Alive crawler.

Here is a great show The Next Bite did up in the Soo.

Thanks for sharing Eye-tracker, and I learned something - you can bet on my trip home this summer I'll pay a LITTLE more attention to the channel markers!

Sheldon,

Got another bag of them last week in Watertown, after watching Fishful Thinkingusing them in Gogama and then Nextbite had a tip for extra adds to the hook setup.

Gonna use them this year - last year we got busy....

Well, the part that I could watch was fairly interesting, but then it froze my computer and caused a few other problems..............not sure if that was a link problem, or internal to my computer, or due to air temperature, or what!

But I don't think I will try the link again.............

Back to Sheldon............the computer graphics suggest that the worm (or Gulp) rolls at a fairly fast clip on that hook - I am assuming one would need to use at least one good swivel forward of that, or your line would be King Coil all over again????

Thanks for your advice!

Caught on to this technique last year, and man does it work. I use the three inch worm from Berkley and it does the trick.

Doug,

This technique is run on a 3 to 5 foot lead behind a bottom bouncer, so you have a swivel at the connection end of the bouncer which prevents the line twist.

Thanks Sheldon!

Yes they did mention bottom bouncers, but I did not see them on the lines when they were bringing the fish to the net. I must have been focussed on the fish!

Makes sense, and thanks again for the advice!
