Buckshot Jigs


Walleye #1

Recommended Posts

last weekend on WInnie we had the aqua view down to watch the non bitting fish swim around our jigs. We discovered if you let your jig lay on the bottome they would at least lick your bait and attempt to bite it. The buckshot jig would work out great for this situation because it would attract some fish with the noise and give a great presentation for the fish.

It does not hurt to try different methods and jigs. YOu never know what may produce a bite! cool.gif

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

When fishing from a permanant shack they come in handy when your not spotting fish. Sometimes it takes the extra noise to draw them in. Once you got there attention you can stick with it or drop something smaller to get them to bite.

If you want rattle jigs try JR's Tackles rattle jigs. The loudest jigs I have used. The gold and silver are the loudest with the others having a more toned down rattle due to the paint on the rattle tube. I used these all spring and they were highly effective for walleyes, cats and smallies. Also work great on Lake Superior Coho, smallies, lake trout and Splake in the winter. You can see them at www.JRstackle.com

A second for JR's rattle jig I have had great luck with them. I pound the heck out of them and then I wait and watch the marcum and it usually draws fish in. Then I just shake it or twich it and most of the time the will just hammer it then.

The Buckshot Rattle Spoon is my main lure to use In our NE South Dakota Lakes, for Perch and Eye's it works great, usually I tip it with a whole minnow and sometimes I tip it with 3 waxies also waxies!!! Not sure on the Buckshot Jigs, I guess but would be interested in finding out more about them!!! grin.gif

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD FISHING!!!

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
