Flicker minnows are legit on Sak.
one thing I wouldn’t be afraid to push it 2.5+mph.
It’s hard to do and think walleyes can’t run bait down at that speed but I cannot tell you how many times I will crank the speed 2.5+ and we rip fish. If you get a “ shaker” one that hits and backs off Immediately either pump your rod or throttle up. It’s amazing how many times a switch in speeds will get strikes . In the heat of summer I have no issues going 2.5+.
I can assure you a walleye can chase a bait down going that speed

Salmo hornets are also legit baits on Sak but it get tougher to get them down deep so getting into the time of year flicker minnows , salmo free divers, or lead core and snaps are gonna be the norm.
