Still need a little help

[MBLMIKE]

A lot depends on if there using a jig or a blade bait like cicada,vibe. or some thing like them these baits have to be snapped of the bottom to get them to vibrate I have used them in the past but foul hooked a lot of fish so I seldom use them any more, many fish are being caught with purple hair jigs tipped with a minnow and a stinger hook attached to the main hook for thoes short strikes, fish it with a slow lift about 4 to 10 inches of the bottom remember to use a jig heavy enough to feel the bottom and try to vertical jig up and down with no more than a 45 degree angle also you can skip it along the bottom walleye often hit on the fall so any unusual feel or weight may be a fish, it takes a while to get the feel for this so dont give up , and when you start catching fish you will be hooked and so will the fish

I would suggest the same thing mblmike said. I bought some captain jays blade baits to try this year, but ive been doing pretty good on hairjigs, so why change it now...........i tried a blade bait before and they always tangled up, but i found i was letting slack in the line when i let it drop back down, your suppose to keep the line taught on the way down, so i hear.......ill give it another try on a slow hairjig day......good luck
