Spring Walleye Advice

[Redeyedrooster]

It is Jigged much like a hair jig. just off the bottom. You pop the jig up about 2 feet and let it down slow as to not get it tangled up.
Also be Careful of the hooks on a Cicada. They are the sharpest damn hooks!

You can go on Youtube and search on 'lake Erie jigging blade bait'

You will see a demo.

I watched that video that you posted. Just jig it like a hair jig

Gonna have to constantly remind myself when I'm out not to snap-jig while walleye fishing. I used to snap-jig while bass fishing all the time. I suspect that it is going to be a very old habit that will die hard.

Will look for some blade baits when I'm up in Port Clinton next.

I got the fishing gear out of the garage this past week and started re-organizing the tackleboxes and re-stringing a few reels. Need to get out to WalMart and buy some more SpiderWire (love the stuff for my perch rod).

I currently have 12lb mono on my 6.5ft Shakespear Medium action spinning rod. Is mono ok jigging this manner or is there a VERY common other type of line I should string it with? Wondering how Spiderwire would do for jigging?

I use braid on all my jigging rods, mono for trolling, personal preference. I've tried quite a few brands of braided line, I just buy from here now, actually the past 10 + yrs.
