WALLEYE PLASTICS!! Quick and Dirty Comparison - SHOP TALK!

WELCOME to another episode of SHOP TALK! In this week's video, we give a quick and dirty rundown comparing different styles of walleye soft plastics and how they run in current (on this day, casting them down current and working back up to the boat). In side -by -side comparison, even similarly sized plastics of the same style have very different actions and drag in current, based on their total surface area (ribbed plastics vs. smooth). Which style is right for you? It really comes down to current flow, jig weight, and achieving the right amount of balance/resistance to keep that jig/plastic combo just off the bottom - hanging in the strike zone as long as possible.
*NOTE - we are casting these DOWN current, working them slowly back UP current. When vertical jigging, if done properly, there is little to no current effect on the plastics - only what you do to animate them with your rod and jigging cadence.

Thank you, well done young man. 👏

[@sinkoutdoors6412]

You might be the best speaker, in the fishing UA-cam world. It's like listening to your favorite topics from your favorite college professor. Truly meant in a good way. I hope I get to bump into you at the landing soon.

[@MadisonAngling]

That's very kind of you haha, thank you very much!

[@timwoodley2752]

I would like a video on tackle storage. What works for you and what doesn't.

Thanks for another great video! Being new to fishing for Walleye, this was very helpful!

Walleye can see Orange and red well, to a lesser degree green and yellow. They do not see blue or purple well. This comes into play when fishing deep here in Lake Roosevelt, Washington. We have depths over 300 feet. Red drops out of the light spectrum at about 30 ft or so. After that it appears gray or black. I often fish around 140 ft on the bottom with green jigs. In the spring walleyes are shallow and in April or May they bite most anything. White is a good color in plastics for us then or gold blade baits.
Most guys east of the Pacific NW don't really know what deep is. I get a kick out of some of the videos where they throw 1/8 or 1/4 oz jigs. We seldom use jigs less than 1 ounce or we cant hit bottom. The current just brushes them away. We can't use live bait here in Washington so we are pretty practiced up with plastics.

I largely fish for bass fisherman in the Madison area, but I’m looking to get more into walleye. This was a super helpful video! Thanks

Great video! Any chance you are considering a UA-cam video on pulling crawler harness behind boards or using bottom bouncers.? Great channel

[@douglasgabel5578]

Any thoughts on when size/length of the paddle tails? Looks like you are using 3” or possibly 4”
