I use a 10 ft. rod that is soft and very flexable. I also use a side plainer board. that works well with a 1oz bottom bouncer. 30 feet of line from the side plainer board. this works well in 30 to 40 ft of water.
Hi Micheal, Set the Hook right away. We like to use 2 hook harnesses with Impulse and get very good hook ups! Here is what we use with Impulse - shop.northlandtackle.com/rigs/baitfish-spinner-harness/
You will try and maintain contact as best as you can but to eliminate snags you just want to be barely touching it. The wire should be just ticking the bottom.

I want one of those Ambassadeur reels sooooo bad, theyre too damn sexy. I found two 1974 Mitchell 300 spinning reels last year and had a blast refurbishing them and was super impressed by their construction, I can only imagine how the Ambassadeur is but i dont think id be so lucky refurbishing a baitcaster as a spinner. If anyone has a vintage Ambassadeur kicking around they dont want, ESP with the line counter, let me know lol, ill take it off your hands!
Couldn't make out snap on your bottom bouncer. Almost every snap is junk. Replace them with cross snaps. Loose a lot less when you get snagged. And get the ones with a closed eye so your line isn't running up and down the bouncer.
Hi Brian, On the Impulse Rig'n Leech there is a sucker dimple molded into the bait. We nose hook through that then hook the second hook as far back on the leech as you can leaving a slight bend in the line so it doesn't affect the leeches action,

I have used bottom bouncers for over 25 years and they work very well. This tutorial was spot on. Thank you guys.
Excellent tutorial and love the BB weight guide.
Exactly what I use. Love it
Awesome Thanks for teaching us some tips
Nice! I'm coming out with a walleye pendant soon!
Thanks!
Great video! how fast do you troll for them?
Thank you for the tech talk..... don't see that much and that's what us anglers need, to be effective .
Does this technique work,when your just drifting,I'm new at walleye fishing in lake Erie.
I drift bouncers with blades all the time when it windy,works well.
Can this method work on a river 👈
I always get big walleye on that split second pause ! I pause my spinner every 30 seconds by just letting a few inches of line out
What is a good rod and reel setup for bottom bouncers?
I use a 10 ft. rod that is soft and very flexable. I also use a side plainer board. that works well with a 1oz bottom bouncer. 30 feet of line from the side plainer board. this works well in 30 to 40 ft of water.
I've never used a bottom bouncer or a Impulse Leach. When you get a bite, do you feed the fish line or set the hook right away?

dope!
Are you making continuous contact with the bottom or just trying to hover above bottom?
You will try and maintain contact as best as you can but to eliminate snags you just want to be barely touching it. The wire should be just ticking the bottom.
What rod strength and action do you use?
Medium Fast action
Awesome video!! Thanks guys
What spinning rod would you recommend for bottom bouncing?
Medium heavy action
what size line and leader are you using? new to walleye fishing
We like to use our 8lbs Bionic Braid. Most of our spinners come pre-tied with a 15 lbs mono leader.

Can't see the way you placed your hooks real well, did you nose hook and then bottom hook the second?

Do you ever put bottom bouncers on boards?
Eric Raspotnik we do but the boards don’t work the best with them
That a boy!
Bouncer, beads, spoon and bait damn I would have never bought
