Pick up your slack, establish contact with the lure as it rests on the bottom and give the rod tip a sharp upward snap-say from the 10 o’clock to the 12 o’clock position. Once the lure hits the water, keep the reel’s spool open so that the glide bait falls vertically to the bottom. From a stationary position, fire a medium- to long-distance cast beyond those fish. (Photo courtesy of Clam Outdoors)Ĭonsider a situation in which you’ve identified a group of walleyes foraging along a mid-lake hump, or a main-channel edge in a river or reservoir. The erratic action of glide baits, like the Clam Tikka Mino, often proves irresistible to summer walleyes fired up to feed. Indeed, the only time that I fish a glide bait vertically during the summer or fall is when I observe several fish directly beneath the boat, bathing in the acoustic beam from my Humminbird 2D sonar. They cast and retrieve the baits, typically with a near-constant rhythm of sharp snaps, or they pull them behind the boat, aggressively snapping the lure along the bottom as the boat proceeds under trolling-motor power. While lures like the Jigging Rap may have earned their keep as hardwater staples fished vertically through a watery cylinder in the ice, most open-water glide bait aficionados present these lures horizontally. The presentation tips and recommendations below will help you target walleyes using glide baits throughout the warm-water season. That said, inducing strikes with glide baits is not without its own learning curve and supporting tackle needs. In recent years, they’ve proven highly effective at converting walleyes in lakes, rivers and reservoirs into fish in the tank. Not to be confused with the jointed swimbaits used for bass, these hard-bodied jigging lures-like the classic Rapala Jigging Rap-have successfully navigated the challenging leap from cold- or frozen-water favorites to warm-water essentials. The Lure Lock Pack Combo Tackle Bag keeps your tackle boxes contained in a boat compartment and also comes with a neo-grip anti-slip shoulder strap that provides comfort during transport.Few presentations have taken the walleye world by storm to the extent that glide baits have. Double-loop zipper pulls offer quick and easy one finger operation, and self-healing zippers allow you to open and close pockets without worrying about accidentally splitting a zipper. Coupled with a molded waterproof bottom, this tackle bag repels standing water and is made with a tacky material that grips to any surface without sliding.Ī molded tool holder attached to the front of the bag ensures easy access to fishing pliers or other tools without fumbling through your bag when a fish is on the line.
Constructed from a durable, water-resistant, and long-lasting nylon material, anglers can fish out in the elements knowing their tackle is protected.
Providing an easy way to haul your Lure Lock tackle boxes to and from the boat, the Lure Lock Pack Combo Tackle Bag conveniently stores five LL2 Medium Lure Lock boxes and delivers functionality and fishability with 12 total storage pockets.
