Mine Has Been The " Northland Whistler Jig ".. With Whole Minnows .. Or Half Of Some Of The Floaters In The Bucket .. You Will Get Used To Fine Tuning The Blades For Flutter And Spin .. They Sometimes Get Bent Ever Soo Slightly In The Bucket Etc.. But It Is A Great Lure .. Have Been Using Them For Panfish And Walleye A Long Time ..It Has Been Good To Me This Winter ..

Am I the only one who's had a tough season with the eyes this year? I'm fishing mostly new water and seeing plenty of fish, but I get refusal after refusal. They come up, some slow some hot, they almost all scurry back down. I've been using buckshots, pimples, macho minnows, dead stick fatheads/shners, tipups, almost everything. I'm going to try darter types lures next. It's been frustrating, that's for sure.

I've actually tracked the success I've had with different lures this winter, and the Buckshot Rattle Spoon in super glo chub has out-caught its nearest competitor by nearly 15-1. It's just not even close. Next best have been perch pattern jigging Rapala, gold eye dropper, and northland's chubby darter knock off.

For panfish, I really like the Scadia Tungsten jigs. I love how fast they get back down to the fish, and love how they feel when the fish are biting. I don't love the price, but will try to add some more here and there.

The lindy rattlin flyer is my go to. I have three rigs with these tied and ready to go at all times. I have been committing to the slick jig alot in the last couple of weeks and am liking the results too. I find when the action slows I have been going to a red or purple slick jig and jigging the heck out of it and finding that it does bring them in. My hook up ratio is down a little compared to the trebles on the jigging spoons though. And sometimes I bring them in for a look with the slick jig and I will get them to go over to the next hole and take the spoon with very subtle motions.

marshmallow- I forgot about the whistler! There have been times out on open water in that these have saved the day for me. Back in the day on Red we used whistlers all the time. I bought up a bunch a few years ago because I heard a rumor that they were going to stop making them. I'm gonna give them a whirl this weekend.

As far as old stanbys go I used to love the Bay De Noc Do Jigger in glow. I used to catch alot of walleyes with those and probably haven't had one for better than ten years. I might go buy a few of those too.

That so called chubby darter knock off has been a big this year its called rippin shad and they crush it i have one rod that it gos on and doesnt come off until i leave. puts the rest to shame

I only described it that way 'cause I couldn't remember the name. It hasn't pulled in a lot of fish for me yet, but the ones that have hit have crushed it, and they've been some nice fish. I'm definitely going to keep it in use.

Alright il let it slide this time no JK. What pattern you useing all my fish have come on the perch and glow perch. I got the chubby darter and lindys and they just have not produced the fish that the RS has i even droped down a lindy darter just to see if they would eat it to nope! same reaction as always switched up and wack. I havent caught a walleye under 17in on these baits cant wait to try them on lakers.
