Walleye Jig Fishing

What walleye jig fishing techniques can you tell me about?

These techniques can be very easy to learn. Make sure you can get the jig to swing in a nice alluring way when you lift the tip of the rod. How about using a vertical jig in water that is 8′ or deeper? The vertical jig is just like its name. It will look vertical to the walleye when under water, which will place it right at the front of the walleye’s nose, hopefully! Get a jig that has a head that is round, with a nice long shank hook on it. Place a light wire hook on the jig; it will easily penetrate that walleye’s mouth. With a vertical jig you should get the correct weight, which is anywhere from 1/8 of an ounce up to around 3/8 an ounce. Check into a pitching jig if the water you’re in is shallow. This will be right at the shore, around some timber or rocks that are in the shallow area. It may be a bit harder in these locations, but it’s worth a shot with the correct jig. These jigs will be more horizontal, and have a much shorter shank hook. This will have your jig being pulled away from the walleye under water, and attracting them to catch some food! Weight will matter too. Shallow areas without wind you can use 1/16 of an ounce, while the deeper water with a bit of wind try out the 1/8 ounce jig. Trolling jigs will be used if you are in a boat, although it could well be considered the best of the three in certain situations. This jig will move with your boat and attract walleye when other methods may have done nothing at all. As far as weight, if you at a slow troll, use those jigs that are around � to � ounce.
