Examples Of Walleye Fishing Rigs And How To Set Them Up
Examples Of Walleye Fishing Rigs And How To Set Them Up
Walleye are among the top list of those elusive fish that anglers love to chase after. The challenge in pulling one into the boat adds to the thrill of the hunt. Walleye do not give up with a fight. This can make the catch near impossible at times but it is not an impossible task by any means. All it takes is having the right techniques to have and when to execute them to pull a mighty walleye into the boat.
One of the best physical features of walleye is their ability to reflect light. This strength gives the fish an amazing ability to see clearly in dark or muddy waters. For this reason dim light times of day are their favorite feeding times.
Walleye come to the surface at dawn before the sun has a chance to shine bright in the sky. Once that sun makes its move to a higher position in the sky, the walleye instinctually head for deeper, darker waters.
At night walleye prefer menu selections of night crawlers, small plugs, bullheads, leeches and minnows. Feeding times for walleye are from dusk to dawn. These are the hours when the waters are at their darkest points and walleye can do their best hunting. These are also the hours anglers need to strike with the best rig combinations known in the fishing community.
Effective Walleye Fishing Rigs
At any time during the hunt for walleye, there are several options an angler can select from to reel one off the line. The simplest yet most effective way has four elements that work tremendously when placed together on a single line. The four elements are a lead weight; spinner blade; beads and a hook. Sure there are fancier elements to place on a line in a variety of combinations. The end results will not be nearly as effective as with this combination.
The key here is lead weight head jig. Walleye love lead weight head jigs. This could be due to any number of things. Among them being at times of pickiness, walleye view the lead head jig as a strange yet familiar object in the water.
They strike almost without warning in order to not let this object slip away. Anglers welcome the walleye favoritism for jigs. It is among the most affordable options for anglers. A variety of colors and sizes are available on the market allowing anglers to mix it up every now and then.
Two variations of lead head jigs are available. One is a flip tail jig and the other is a skirt tail jig. Pair either one with a minnow or other live bait selection on the hook for great results. Walleye prefer crawfish, small crustaceans and night crawlers for food selections. Keep a healthy stock of each in the tackle box to keep walleye on the end of the line.
The second type of effective walleye rig is the Blakemore Roadrunner. This type has been around almost as long as walleye have been manning the waters. Even so it is still a highly popular and effective rigging technique to reel in the elusive walleye. One of the favorite aspects to this rig is the fact that it can not be used incorrectly.

Sea Fishing Rigs – A Guide For Every Angler
Sea Fishing Rigs – A Guide For Every Angler
When it comes to salt water fishing, the way you present your bait can make all the difference in a productive day on the beach and a day when you come home with your stringer empty. Because it is important that you use the right sea fishing rigs, a guide for every angler is an invaluable asset.
Many sea fish feed on the bottom, so it is important to be able to put the bait right on the bottom. One good presentation, and one of the most commonly used of all sea fishing rigs is the paternosters. The main objective with a paternoster is to be sure the bait rests on the floor of the sea. Put a swivel between a couple of beads. These swivels allow the rig to roll in the dips and holes more readily.
If you shorten your snood, you will find that the fish hook themselves more easily. If the fish are biting that way, you are good to go, but if you find them off the bite, just switch to a longer snood for a more natural presentation. If tangling becomes a problem, try a weaker line on the snood. It will allow the hook to come free if it really gets hung up on something. Just be aware that using a boom keeps the tangles down, but it also makes the presentation less natural and keeps you from casting as far.
If you are fishing for a more reluctant fish such as bass, you can run ledgers, and keep the fish from feeling the resistance other rigs create. The down side to running ledgers is that they snag very easily, and that being said…when you snap a snood, you can wind up losing the whole rig. So, if you want to run a ledger, it is best to do it where the bottom is clear. Running ledgers allows the bait to present naturally on the bottom of the sea bed.
Many other rigs keep the bait dangling above the bottom, making it look less natural and putting fish off the bite. You can use a double 4 fold blood knot or a leader knot to tie on your snood, but use a bead to keep it from moving past the swivel or lead. You might want to alter the 2nd rig by attaching your sinker with weaker line if you are fishing on rough ground using short casts.
A pennel rig is basically just two hooks on a snood. The first hook is a little bigger than the second usually. Be sure to make the hook size match the bait size, and the bait size should match the fish size as always. The second hook will make all the difference when you are primarily fishing for large fish, but the waters are rich with smaller panfish as well.
Wishbone rigs are designed specifically so that two baits may be fished at the same time, in close proximity to each other. It will work best when you tie with 20 pound test line. Tangling is a problem with the wishbone rig, but it is a good way to compare bait. This works best on piers and in harbors.
