lonkm Posted August 7, 2010 Posted August 7, 2010 I tried out a new style of hook for me. Slow Death They worked real well. Was trolling for eyes but got these instead. One is 20 1/2 in & the 0ther is 22 3/4 in. Saw them on the bottom about 25 ft down and marked them. First time through I caught the small one. the second time I caught a short and threw it back. Figured they couldn't all be bass so made another pass. Caught the big one. Gave up on the spot. Didn't catch another fish the rest of the day.....
Walleyedmike Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Nice fish lonkm. Keep experimenting with those slow death rigs! A good friend of mine told me to put a bead on the leader in front of the slow death hook. I usually use yellow or red and I think it makes the presentation look beter. I also just got a couple of really small willow blades that I plan on adding to some slow death rigs to add a little flash and vibration to the presentation. Slow death rigs were the only thing I caught any walleye with on Stockton this weekend. Unfortunately, they were all short! WM
Mike Worley Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 The Slow Death hook also works well when used with beads & a #3 spinner (Indiana or Colorado) blade. You can put a float on the rig instead of beads to help keep it up a little off the bottom. The slow Death spinner rigs have been catching lots of walleyes for me. With walleyes biting it about 90 percent of the time when fished in the "zone" which right now seems to be 32'-40' on bottom bouncers.
