Go to Perch/Walleye lures

[zoops]

The go to rod thread got me thinking...what are your favorite lures for perch or walleyes through the ice?

If I can't catch them with a buckshot and minnow head they are uncatchable.

If they are in the mood to chase, the chunk of lead with a chunk of meat will get smoked.

I forgot what theyre called, but they look like a hookers earings. only thing we could catch perch on last weekend. Its some beads n chain n shit with a treble hook below it. Gonna have to stock the box with those now.

Perch Talker?

I start and end with jigging raps & minnow head. Didn’t always work that way. Used to avoid them.

 

[luvcatchingbass]

If I am by myself Buckshot and minnow head. If I am with others and they are using that I will go to a lipless crank or either a rattle less or flutter spoon, perch talker could also come into play.

For the most part i agree and i always have a 1/8 or 1/4 oz buckshot on a rod ready to go. There are times though where something without a rattle that "flutters" like a tingler spoon, will do the trick. I am also becoming more and more fond of a #4 rippin rap, they dont always work, but when they do you may find yourself giggling like a school girl.

This past weekend i was on a body of water where i was having consistent action on my bobbers and tip-ups. Then just like someone turned off a switch they all went dead. I threw down the rippin rap and to my delight the fish started coming in pairs and crushing it. I caught probably 15 eyes in about 1.5 hours in the middle of the afternoon, my bobbers and tip ups never moved again. I don't think the buckshot would have called in near as many fish.

I have a difficult time spending 5 bucks or more for a buckshot, so I use a swedish pimple 90% of the time with a dead stick plain hook and minnow head under a bobber for the other rod. The other 10% of the time it's a grab bag of garbage I have in the tackle box just to see if it works and will catch fish.

Might give you mine. better named perch tanglers. Don’t ever get the hook stuck inside one of those beads.

Not sure what they are called either but you win the day with the tackle name they SHOULD be called! As in....I am going to try the hookers earrings jig next. lol

^Hilarious!

 

[MSA]

Yeah! Perch talkers, thats what they were....gonna stick with hooker earings though.

 

[bigcatpike]

Buckshots, forage spoons, slender spoons, and some crazy looking northland glow jig. Forgot what it’s called but I’ve never seen anyone else use one. All tipped with a minnow head or perch eye

Sounds like a whole new line for DM baits.

Hooker Earings

Stripper-Rippers

Some big 'ol pike bait called a "slimer snatcher"

Lap Dancer, pretty close to Taildancer, but different

"Covert escort" for some kind of lure with a trailer/stinger hook

Size "A" to size "DD" Jiggler lure.

 

[Holmsvc]

I usually start out with a chubby darter when fishing walleyes, and usually a slender spoon or buckshot on the other rod if fish won't hit the darter.

When fishing for perch I usually start with a buckshot and have a tungsten jig with spikes ready if fish won't hit the spoon.

 

[cooter00]

You guys use lures I just drill a hole and crack open a coors and they jump into the house lol but if that don't work I use a buckshot or something like it

Imagine the wife's face when I'm taking a phone call and relaying the order back to the customer.

buckshot in red glowfish. ussually replace the treble hooks because northlands hooks bend on a 16" walleye. Although the last couple I bought seem to be better.

If at Winnipeg, live target or my new favorite, snooty patooty.
