For walleye its the JR's Tackle Flasher Spoon and then the Forage Minnow spoon, rattle spoon and Blue Fox Tinglers in no real order. If I want light and more action I will go to the Phelps glow spoons. If Im in current a Swedish pimple is hard to beat.

I love jigging spoons, a very versatile tool to have in your arsenal. I'll use them on panfish all the way to pike and smallies. Some of my favorites are the Flasher and Crusher from JR's Tackle, the Slender Spoon by Custom Jigs and Spins, the Twin Minnow and Pin Minnow from Bad Dog Lures and the Angel Eye from Scenic Tackle. I've been having a lot of success with the Slender Spoon lately. Its been working very well on smallies and walleyes. Gold seems to be the hot color and I've been tipping them with a minnow head. The Slender Spoon is heavy and gets down fast, yet it has a unique shape and adds a lot of flash and action that triggers and draws in fish from a distance.

I usually have a few rods tied up with jigging spoons...

  • Perch color 1/8 oz Flasher Spoon, Crusher Spoon or Angel Eye
  • Red Glow 1/16 oz Go Devil or JR's Tackle Jigging Spoon
  • Size 8 Pin Minnow in Copper/Green
  • 1/8 oz Gold/Green Slender Spoon

These spoons cover a wide spectrum of species and actions that allow me to aggressively fish for any desired target.

Good Fishin,

Matt Johnson

My favorite go to jig for the eyes are JR's crusher spoons. Usually Glow Red or Pink and White but I have a wide selection of colors and almost all have worked. Second I like the angel eyes jr same for color. I also have been having decent luck with JR's new rattle jigging spoon if you call it that. I am not sure what where it fits but it has produced fish. Finally the old buck shot rattler is usually a pretty good choice as well.

For many years I have used a swedish pimple, the real small one, gold, with the red prisam strip on one side tipped with a fathead head that is pinched off just behind the gills, leave some guts hang out. I have caught eyes pike, croppies pearch, you name it,on this presentation,I switch to other spoons and jigs, but ussally come back to this. I guess you can say I;m stuck in a rut. tongue.gif

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
