Walleye jigs

Without a doubt, JB lures Rattling Varmits and Scenic tackle Angel Eyes or Go-Devils tipped with a minnow head or tail. I usually go with the 1/4 oz Angel eyes in glow and the Go-Devils in 1/8oz for the eyes and crappies.

The Rattling Varmits I will use the 1/4 or 1/8 oz for eyes and the smaller for eyes and crappies.

Both great lures and work well in almost all lakes.

I think my answer to this question no matter the species, is Swedish Pimples. Walleyes, perch, crappies have even caught bullheads on them. My first thing to do when I open the package is swap out the treble for either the included single hook or grab the infamous red hook out of the box. Trebles are great- they catch everything, including fingers, rod bags, and anything else within a 10 yard perimeter, thats why I ditch the trebles.

French Lake- do you have any of the all glow white Pimples? I have one of those and the the glow sticker ones as well. The all glow painted one looks like eventually it will just be a silver Pimple as the paint is chipping off

Yes, those Angel eyes are good but dont forget about the Go-Devils as they also are a very good lure.


Yeah, I should order some of those too. I carry a wide assortment of spoons with me but the Angel Eyes are my "confident spoon". I guess if I had a #2, it would be the Buckshot Rattle Spoons. Once in awhile I'll change-out the treble and put a single hook dropper on.

Didn't we already have this post?


Yes I thought we did, I did a quick little search didnt find it, it was quicker to just repost. I wanted to refill my box up for the fishing season, and just wanted the hottest lures. Im sure everyone loves talking lures anyhow! smirk.gif Im sure others will be updating their boxes with a few of these also.

Buckshot rattle jig is my bread and butter for eyes and crappies. Just seems to git-r-done. I have caught most of my eyes this year on a small full-body shiner with the buckshot.

Strange, I know.

I have never, I mean never caught anything on the angle eye or the cubber darter of the jigging rapala.

I don;t know why, but haven't gotten a nibble. My buddies have used them too -- nothing.

    • 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.
