kjackson Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 YAK-- Leadcore works well in both trees and brush from my limited experience. The trick is finding the lure that won't hang up. I've been fishing it a bit specifically in timber, and have had no hangups with it at all. However, I've not caught any fish, either. Tournament walleye guys in South Dakota use it on the Missouri system (there were a couple of big PWT wins). They were pulling one-ounce bass spinnerbaits. I imagine a minnow or crawler was in there somewhere... I've been using a 3/8-ounce spinnerbait, but I've not added any kind of scent. That will be the next thing. I'll post results if anyone is interested.
YAKFM Posted July 1, 2014 Author Posted July 1, 2014 Thank you for the feedback on your experience with lead core in trees, KJackson. The only time I have fished spinnerbaits in walleye waters was on Rainy Lake on the MN/Canadian border. I was throwing 1/2 spinnerbaits around main lake reefs fishing for smallmouths. We would occasionally pick up nice eyes and they would hammer them. Yes, please post the results of your efforts.
rps Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 The spinner bait + leadcore was covered extensively in articles posted on line. Try this as the spinner bait to reduce the hangs to a minimum. 9/16 ounce War Eagle.
