How do you choose the right jig for walleye fishing? Have you ever stared at an entire wall of jigs wondering where to even begin? I created this video to break down jig styles into manageable pieces of information that will help you narrow your search so you can find the perfect jig for the job at hand. Whether it’s pitching jigs on a river system, snap jigging plastics on a natural lake, or dialing in the perfect live bait jig on a reservoir, this video will help you pick the perfect jig for your application. Check out any of the links below to compare jig colors, prices, styles etc. Also check out any of the plastics below to see the ones featured in this video.

I agree 100% with what was shared in this video. This presentation is one of the very best synopsis’ on jig qualities and applications produced. (particularly for the novice to using jigs). Couple items to add: In finesse, neutral to negative fish moods, most always try to use the lightest weight jig you can get by with; the reason being that it gives the walleyes just a bit more time to see the bait, but most importantly the lighter the jig the easier the fish has to “inhale” and get it into their mouth. Secondly, shortly after Northland Tackle introduced the Titanium Weed Guard Stand Up Jig a couple of years ago, I was at the factory in Bemidji and got to talking about that jig with a couple of pro-staffers. My suggestion to them was to offer that jig in “gold”. Their response was: “For sure, but you know what?” “Draw a line south of Brainerd, and few people know of the qualities of gold on catching walleyes”. We all agreed: “Seriously ??? !!!!” So a tip to everyone whom reads this: Use GOLD !!!!. Again, a great video this was.

This is arguably the best jig-head tutorial on KZfaq. And that's saying a lot due to the vast amount of videos I watch on jig fishing and walleye presentations. There is no question that your teaching methods and calm but concise explanations are largely responsible for the lion's share of your subscriptions. I'm legitimately astounded that your channel does not have ten times the subs that it does right now. I'm rarely motivated to even sign in, let alone comment on videos such as this. I sub'd and I'm looking forward to binging on more of your content. Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences.

Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, kzfaq.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

Wow. Great action presentation video! Great explanations on all the details as well. Walleye was always a dream-fish to catch and eat but I never caught one as a kid in Wisconsin. We use lots of jigs in Hawaii in the saltwater and the things you explain here as far as action, color, hook-gap, etc., definitely apply anywhere you’re trying to fool a fish in the water, no matter where you are in the world. Fish brains are pretty much the same. Conditions are different but changing with them is the key. Great video as usual! 🤙🏼

I can also see an application of your tips for my new hobby of tying walleye hair jigs using standard lead ball jigs. I have started using plyers and flat metal to re-shape or flatten the sides of the lead ball heads to more of a pill shape so I can paint then and glue eyes on the sides. I think I can also create some of the other shapes you discuss using lead ball head jigs and plyers. I am walleye fishing with my daughter May 12-15, 2024.. I can hardly wait to try out some of your tips. Thanks so much for the video.

If I had to pick one jig for river walleyes it would be a long shank round ball. I can buy them cheap bulk and the bronze hook bends easy. Med light rod and 6# mono will float an 1/8oz jig and 4” plastic ringworm or slim paddle tail at the perfect rate for 90% of small river fishing. I rarely switch to 3/16 but will with bulkier plastics. I catch a hundred walleyes ever year on just a lead colored jig.

I somewhat agree. Depends on the bait you are using. Some baits action is hampered if you bury the stinger in it, others it does if you let it swing free.

1 The lead is covered in paint, 2 The lead is not ingested. They would be toxic is the walleye swallowed them, that being said we've used lead sinkers forever and fish are not dying from lead poisoning, so Toxic is extreme. So as with society lets not paint a catastrophe where none exists. Other than that thanks for the info it was very helpful.

I was not describing a catastrophe, nor was I talking about fish being impacted by the lead. I was merely saying that tungsten is more environmentally friendly than lead because lead is indeed a toxic metal. It’s primarily birds that end up ingesting lead when taking in gravel for their crops. Do I think it’s an emergency and we should ban lead in fishing tackle like California did? Absolutely not. I think it should be up to the individual if they want to use lead or go a different route and tungsten just gives a nice option for those who are concerned about environmental impact. Do I personally choose tungsten over lead purely for environmental reasons? No. I do not.
