Walleye Fishing Lures For The Beginner FishermanSPOONS Not that many spoons are effective for Walleye fishing. I like to cast Williams Wabbler Spoons in silver and silver/gold. Other than that spoons for Walleye tend to be very hit or miss. I have not yet figures out a common type of spoon that works with any kind of consistency PLUGS Catching walleye with plugs can be very effective, espacially with Blue/Gold patterns. I typically Walleye fish in 10’ to 17’ feet of water. The baits I use run just above that depth, possibly touching bottom once in a while. Perch, Fire tiger, and Chartreuse pattern and colors work very well. I try to pick walleye lure that have a HARD side to side action, they seem to hit these lures more aggressively than the slower action lures. But, regardless the water body you fish has to dictate what lures and colors you will use. No two water bodies fish the same.
Jigs and soft plastic baits are an absolute must for anyone serious about catching nice Walleye. Jigs are by far the most effective lure for catching walleye. I keep a huge variety of jig heads and soft plastic baits at my disposal. It is going to take most of you a while to build up a collection, so I would start out with a package of assorted sized Black Jig heads with a couple of parks of assorted other colors. I would buy some yellow double tail baits and a few packs of other colors. Pick something that has colors that could possibly live down there. When I am fishing for ”eyes” I rarely remove my black jig head with yellow double tail from my line. It is my go to lure. It has been my most effective lure for walleye fishing for ten years more or less. There are days where a walleye wouldn’t hit that lure if they hadn’t eaten for a month. But even on really slow days I can usually entice a few walleye into my boat if with that setup. But once again, trial and error. You have to figure out what is going to work once again. BOTTOM BOUNCERS with WORM RIGS When fishing from a boat a bottom bouncer can be a great way to troll for walleye. The bottom bouncer is attached to your line with a leader and or a snap swivel. The weighted side travels along the bottom of the lake and you attach your worm rig to the top loop. It follows the contours of the bottom of the lake as you troll. Walleye often sit suspended just inches off the bottom and this gets your worm rig right in there face. An easy target can be irresistible to a nice walleye.
