halis

[hamms-scooter]

Have you guys got anything to say about the hali spoon/jigs with the dropper? For eyes and perch. I would like to get set up with a good selection of walleye stuff. I used to go to mille lacs with just a silver swedish pimple w/red disc on treble and a couple blue fox rattle spoons for walleyes. I did good but need more to fine tune and have options to give them.

My favorite jig!! I like to mix in a few of the larger hooks and chain (sell different sizes). Every fish will hit it!

I use halis on perch when they are in a neutral or negative mood. I use red and white euros or just the tail of a minnow to tip the single hook-----they have definatly outfished anything I have used for perch on millelacs.......and tullibees also. They work when it seems like nothing else does and I wont go up there without a few of them. It does work on eyes(just caught a few of them on winni last weekend) but the hook is pretty small and getting hooked up and staying hooked up on bigger fish is tough.

you ever use the treble or just the single hook? What colors do you like for stained water? I would think the gold and then the more chartruse colors would be good.

I first used Hali's on Devil's Lake many years ago. They outfished every other lure about 4 to 1 on a negative bite. I use a wax worm and a spring bobber with no motion. Sometimes, a flashy jig in motion will bring them in and the dead stick Hali next to it will get hit. I have several colors, but the chartruse or Firetiger seem to be the best all around on various waters.

I bought my 1st Hali lure from Terrys boat Harbor and it was killer lure. Now I got 10 different ones. They are great under the right conditions.

I have lots of colors of them, not sure on the stained water since I don't fish much water where visibility is under 8'.

That would be nice our water clarity is half that.

Hey Esox are those schucks made around your area? The reason I ask is a guy I know from Spirit Lake gave me about 10 of those a few years ago. He had a different name for them, but they look the exact same.

They really work well though. Caught perch and eyes on them in SD, Brainerd area, Mille Lacs, LOTW, and many other places.

[Esox_Magnum]

Yep the guy that makes them used to own Shucks Bait. He still makes and sells lures. They are a knock off of the old Rapala Pilkie.

[Fred_Bear]

Thanks, he always called them Pilkies and that's what I know them by. Didn't realize they were originally made by Rapala though.

Hali's are probably #2 or #3 on my go-to lure list for perch. Small Jigging Raps are the top of the list, then Halis and Buckshot Rattle Spoons, and then Swedish Pimples. All of these except the Jigging Raps use a short dropper with a treble hook, and usually a minnow head, though at times waxworms or maggots work just as well.

The Pimples used to be #1 on my list (the all-white ones), and I have been having better luck with them again this season, so they may climb in the rankings next month...

They look good thanks for the site I order a couple and some of the droppers.

I always got a hali of some variety on one of my poles ready to go.

It is almost always my #1 lure when I'm trying out a new panfish spot.

It seems like if they are aggressive they will come in hot and hammer it. If they are a little more subdued they will come in to see whats going on but still take it because there is a little bit of something hanging there.

There are several varieties of it and I try to keep a couple of each one in the tackle box. I have taken a liking to the ones with the little fin at the bottom of the lure though. It has a lot of action when you do the lift-fall.

Not many retailers carry them, best bet is search online and buy them direct. Or stock up if your down this way, all the bait shops carry them.
