I was fishing for walleyes....6# test with a3/8 0z free sliding dipsey sinker ahead of a
standard swivel/ the leader end was about 36" ending with a 1" soft
foam floating jig.  3 1/2 live minnow sealed the deal.  My fish was 31"
and the take was surprisingly soft.  He got fairly annoyed when I
stuck 'im and put up a nice fight.  I patted him on his pointy little
head and let him go.....

fish on,

rivereddy

Got mine Fishin for walleyes as well. 3/4oz chartreuse head with a 4" gulp minnow. Normally wouldn't fish that heavy of jig but river was up quite a bit and the water discharge was on. Normally I'd fish 1/4-3/8oz
