Post by: Mike J on 01/21/17 22:29 UTC: It definitely fits in with our slower style of jigging walleyes in cold water.

Post by: Mike J on 01/21/17 22:55 UTC: I agree I'll probably end up with all sizes of that. I also liked the double spinner idea he was showing us. That looked sweet.

Post by: ctom on 01/22/17 06:03 UTC: What did you guys think of the 3.5" ring bodied paddletail as a walleye bait? The orange one. I see that clobbering those walleyes in deep winter below the dams.

Post by: Muskygary on 01/22/17 06:05 UTC: I agree guys, it was great getting to play with the molds and I was also surprised at the motion in that bait. Also going to have to get all sizes.I bet that two spinner deal that efish had rigged would be good on a slow troll also.

Post by: Muskygary on 01/22/17 06:07 UTC: For some reason anything with a ring body will out fish other plastics when it comes to walleye. I don't know if it's the sound waves or the body movement or both; but it works.

Post by: WALLEYE WACKER on 01/22/17 07:20 UTC: That is also a awesome walleye bait Tom and Gary I do think a ribbed bait most feel more life like because fish seem to hold on longer.

Must have been a 'show item'.
Are you talking 'zipper goby' here?

Post by: Mike J on 01/22/17 08:47 UTC: Tom I've been waiting for a mold like that orange ribbed paddle tail for quite some time. The thin tail on that bait has awesome action and I like the ribs a lot. That bait should be a real solid walleye producer for me everywhere I fish.

Steve....this is not exact but the idea and shape are close enough to give you an idea of what we are referring to.
