Foam Walkers

I just saw the add go across the top of the screen and was wondering how many people have used these? Are they better than using just a standard bottom bouncer or even the no snagg slip sinkers from lindy? advantages, disadvantages compared to the others? Just curious.

I've used em and wont use any other bottom bouncer now, I only see advantages with them, they always stand up, Ive never gotten one hung up, and you dont stir up as much muck with em when fishing in silty areas. I guess the only disadvantage with em is that they are hard to find (I dont like ordering stuff off of the net)

Ohh forgot to mention another huge advantage is that you can just clip em on or off the line!

I used them last year and liked them on lakes. I didn't like them on rivers in current situations, harder to keep on bottom with the current fighting the floating foam. But other then that the are a good product. Also like the fact that you can snap them on.

I use the foam walkers for pretty much all of my spinner-riggin' for walleyes. I also use them to run floats and cranks on occassion as well. A very versatile tool. The float really perfroms well in keeping the weight away from dragging on the bottom. It really does bounce off rocks and I've experienced a lot less snags with the foam walkers then your standard systems.

Good Fishin,

Matt Johnson

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • 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.
