I am trying to find a place that sells Ukko wobblers, the smaller ones not the big 12 cm ones but the 6 cm, 9 cm ones.
Never used them but I read an article that said they were good for landlocked salmon (ouananiche) and somebody told me they did for eyes with them.
Does anybody know where I can find some.

`Thanks Seaweed
I checked them out but they are the big ones, the pike and musky lures.
I am trying to find the smaller ones for eyes. I will keep on searching.

Looks like the lures are from Europe
I found a couple of foreign sites searching for:
Turus-Ukko
But for the life of me I can't figure out what they say... there are indications of smaller sizes... but you are on your own trying to order them.

I saw an add with an web site but the site no longer works.
I will ask some of the sport stores at the show in montreal on the weekend.

Hi guys,
I remember seeing some of these lures (including the small ones) at Protackle musky shop near Belleville last time I was there a few years ago. I checked the website, and the name is listed, but their inventory isn't there, so I don't know if they still carry them. Might want to give em a call though! (I have one of the larger ones....awesome lure!)

DH,
As an alternative you may want to try the Reef-Runner ripsticks or little rippers. These have the perfect bottom to top roll to trigger walleye strikes. They also have enough colours to keep you shopping for a few years.

They are already on my list, I bought a few of ebay and I am going to order some more. Have you tried the Ripshads?

Hello dh,
I have tried the ripshads but I not a huge fan of plastic shad lures. I really like the Bagley Small Fry and Walleye Shads that are made of Balsa...they provide a very tantalising "Backing Up - Floating Upwards" motion on the turn or pause that walleye can't resist.
Man...I think I just let one of my favorite baits out of the bag
While I am at it the Bagley balsa bait also have great action behind keel weights and snap weights that plastic just can't seem to reproduce at those slow walleye trolling speeds.
Fish On...
