If you plan on fishing for walleyes using nightcrawlers as live bait there are a number of walleye fishing rigs you can use. We will concentrate on how to use, and what spinner baits tipped with nightcrawlers to use in this article. If you are fishing walleye waters that are stained or muddy using a spinner bait tipped with at least 2 nightcrawlers at all times is a very good choice.

Some of the most common spinner baits used for walleye fishing are listed below. Weight forward spinners are used for easy casting. When using this spinner bait, tip all hooks on this spinner with at least 2 nightcrawlers. Other spinners that work great for walleye are a mono line spinner with blades. These spinners are great for trolling over weed beds. You can get them in single or double hook harnesses. Make sure that you use at least 2 nightcrawlers with these spinners. Also when you use a multiple hook harness make sure when you hook your crawler, that you leave some slack in the night crawlers between hook 1 and two. Sliding spring spinners are great if you need to change hooks quickly. June bug spinners are a single hook spinner and hooked with two nightcrawlers makes a excellent walleye bait. Floater spinner multiple hook nightcrawler harnesses are great when drifting over shallow weeds. Extended arm spinners keep the hook away from brush when you are fishing thick brush areas and are great to use in flooded overflow areas.

The most fasinating aspect of the spinner bait that draws the attention of all game fish is the vibraction factor. For example if you are fishing spinners tipped with nightcrawlers in stained or muddy water with poor visibility you want to have spinners that give of allot of vibration. If you are fishing in clear water its just the opposite walleye prefer spinners with much less vibration. The amount of vibration depends on the style and size of the blade you are using. For example if you were fishing clear water use small willowleaf blade because they give off much less vibration then say a large Colorado blade. Not all blades are created equal. A Colorado blade has a 50deg pitch which gives off the most vibration. The next spinner blade is a Indiana blade that has a 40 degree pitch and gives off the second most vibration. The willowleaf blade has a 25 deg pitch and gives off the next least vibration and is the best choice for clear water.

Walleye spinners that are tipped with nightcrawlers and have a Colorado blade to create more vibration work best in low clarity water or at night. Walleyes have what is called a lateral line sense that can detect vibrations. In the late spring fish spinners with Colorado blades at a slow speed baited with at least 2 nightcrawlers.

In the summer use a willow leaf blade tipped with at least 2 nightcrawlers. To fish for walleyes using spinner baits troll or drift along breaklines. You can also drift and troll nightcrawlers over weed tops. The spinner blade works as a weed guard when trolling or drifting over weed beds tipped with nightcrawlers.

I have had a great time writing this article we hope you enjoyed our information about nightcrawler harness. Have a great day!

There is no other artificial bait that works better to catch walleye then the walleye fishing jig. There are multiple ways to tip walleye jigs with live bait. We will talk about some of the best live baits to use in combination with walleye jigs in our article today. Walleye jigs are so universal because they can be fished so many different ways. You can cast your walleye jigs  tipped with live bait or without from a anchored or drifting boat. You can jig vertically while drifting with the wind or current, or troll very slowly, bouncing your walleye jig tipped with live bait off the bottom.

You can tip a jig with a live walleye minnow which works great in the early spring or fall months by pushing the hook through the lips starting at the bottom lip and push the hook up through the top lip so the barb of the hook is pointing towards you. If you want to keep your walleye minnows on the hook longer hook them through the eye socket. The most secure way to hook your walleye minnows is is to push the hook of a plain jig with no plastics, through the mouth and up through back with the barb pointing towards you when you are finished. Unfortunately this normally kills the minnow but if you are jigging for walleye you will be replacing your live bait on a regular basis anyway.

If you want some really good action use a ribbon leech as live bait on your walleye jig and get ready to catch some nice walleye. Make sure you use a plain walleye jig with no plastic when you hook the ribbon leach. The best way to hook a ribbon leech  is to push the barb of your walleye hook through the sucker end of the leech so the barb id pointing upward when finished.

The most common and widely used live bait fished on a plain walleye jig is the nightcrawler. There a multiple ways to hook a nightcrawler and they all work well. You can hook them through the head of the night crawler about one half of an inch down. Make sure the tip of the barb is pointing upward when you are done. You can hook night crawlers on a walleye jig right through the middle. Make sure you use at least two crawlers when you use this method.

Another live bait that is used in combination with a walleye jig is a waterdog, which is a salamander larva. You want to hook waterdogs through the lips with the hook on the walleye jig, then you want to add a stringer hook set with a treble hook to your jig and push one of the hooks all the way through the tail of the water dog leaving the other two hooks exposed

We hope the information in this article about Walleye Living Bait. Have a great day and the the best of luck to you on your next fishing trip
