Walleye on spinnerbaits?

[Jordan]

I've heard that fishing for walleye on a deeper spinnerbait on weed edges can be good. Can anyone back this up?

I can't speak to deep weedlines, but I can tell you that spinnerbaits work. There is a guy I know who fishes the Wolf River, near Gills Landing for you who know the area, who fishes for summer walleye exclusively with a jig/minnow, and a white spinnerbait. Yes, the bass bait kind of white spinner. I've seen him catch walleye with it myself. More than one. If it works shallow, odds are it will work deep. And, no, I haven't tried it myself. Just doesn't seem "walleyeish" to me.

Spinnerbaits do produce at different times along deep weededges. Better yet, though, try Gopher Tackle's 'Bait Spin.' Its basically a scaled-down skirtless spinnerbait designed to be fished with livebait, like a minnow. You can troll it, cast it and jig it. Deadly in summertime when it's really hot outside.

Toad, that's one of my secret weapons on eyes. Cast it, troll it, jig it--whatever--it flat catches walleyes-catfish=white bass/ hang some crawler on it and go for it. Have caught some big walleyes on spinnerbaits drifting fast over cabbage-was fishing for northerns at the time. Don't remember the color-think it had a gold blade tho. Cabbage was growing clear to the surface and didn't know what else to use.

Have had real good luck on a skirtless spinnerbait with a grub tail, all white.

I like the 3/8 oz model with a collar, to hold plastics. I use a 4 inch sassy shad and Bait spin combo at night. I also use a 1/2 os model with a power lizard for Pike, very effective.

Hey, found them on the web... http://www.gophertackle.com. It's a slow site, but at least now I know where to get some.

Next time you are at Powell, try helocoptering them down the walls and rock piles. Don't use them as a spinnerbait. Use then as a flutting jig, for lack of a better term. Ask Toad how to fish them, he has a wealth of knowledge on these baits. I have only been using them for a year, but I will never go anywhere without them for warm water fish
again.

oh yea! spinner baits do work, cast a 3/4 down river , slow roll'em they are such a versital bait. yey, that gopher bait sounds like a prescot spinner live bait rig. give spinner baits a try at night over humps,rockpiles early season. there practicaly snag proof.

I have caught walleye's on dare devil spoons. I would think spinnersbaits would work.

Last year my brother and I got into some walleyes in the summer right by where a pipe comes into the lake. We caught 5 and 6 pound eyes almost every cast. We got em on Terminator spinnerbaits and Excalibar Swim'in Images.
