Whats's everyone go to size and topping using buckail jigs for walleye? 1/8 to1/4 oz in a perch pattern with a crawler is what I always end up using. It has either produced or left me feeling like like walleye are extincted. I haven't tried them yet but I hear the swimbaits on a bucktail is a deadly combo. There is room in the tackle box so watcha got? Thanks!!

I try to keep an assortment of 1/8, and 1/4oz bucktails in the tacklebox but yellow, black, white and orange are the go to colors, tipped with a leech most the time but crawlers work when I run out or don't have leeches. Bucktails with swimbaits haven't produced a whole lot of walleye for me, but it is one of my go to lures for pike.

I perfer 5/8 oz in white, yellow, black, brown, purple, or black/purple and tipped with half a crawler.

It all depends on depth and speed as to what size I am going to use. I want to use as light as I can and still keep vertical and feel the bottom. As far as topping, I only use minnows on bucktails. If I am using any other kind of live bait, it won't be on a bucktail.
In the water type I am mostly on, a 1/16 or 1/8 is what I will use with 90% of the time being 1/16.

I fish 1/4 or 3/8 depending on conditions tipped with a 3" gulp minnow. Purple or black for the relatively clear lakes I fish in.

I always use a 1/4oz white one. Did pretty good with late fall/early winter
