your #1 producing walleye setup/rig/lure that kinda thing

Rattlin Varmits are basically the same as buckshots, although there are some nice colors in the Rattlin Varmits. Angel

Eyes have some nice colors and nice flutter to them too. One of my favorites is the hammered gold Angel Eye.

There has been some discussion about this recently in the Walleye Forum, things like favorite baits and how to target fish, etc.

1/8 ounce and 1/4 ounce chartruese glow buck shots with 4 # test have out produced all others for me in clear water. reds in darker water. with only minnow heads. sure wish I could find a stash of old Ivan's crushers somewhere though. next best is the rattl'in varmit in perch for sure. The dead stick has to be #6 red gama and split shot w/ shiner. jig like you mean it.

My go to jigging setup is 6lb dia Power Pro Ice, Tica reel and a Glow Red Angel Eye - ususally the first thing in the water when I fishing for walleye.

My dead stick setup is a little more straightforward - A Thorne Bros deadstick, Tica Reel, 5lb dia Power Pro Ice and a small gold kahle hook - around a size 8 with a couple split shot above to keep the minnow from swimming too far & to get the line down faster. All of these balanced on a deadstick holder - in my case a Rockn Reel, but a Rod Rocker or Rod Rocker 2 would also do the trick.

I have tried all kinds of different deadstick jigs / hooks and 85% of the time the small kahle hook is what puts the most fish on the ice for me from a deadstick.

Good luck!

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • 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.
