[QUOTE="KDM, post: 103420, member: 314"] Countdowns get hung up in the weeds after about 4 ft or you have to reel much to fast to catch fish consistently IME at my spots. It doesn't take a countdown very long to sink 3 ft. The slow roll retrieve of an original with a couple twitches keeps the rapala about 6 inches under the surface where the walleyes can see it and come up under and behind it to strike. They will move over for a bait, but if that bait is on the bottom or close to the bottom, they seem to short strike it or will completely whiff and you will feel the bait being pushed foreword, but no hookup. Additionally, with an original, it's not uncommon to catch fish that missed on the first swing as you can stop the bait and let it float to the surface or get a fish to hit in under a foot of water at your shoes when they follow the bait right to the bitter end of the cast. Sounds like a bass taking a frog when they do that too. In current, all bets are off and you have to tweek your presentation to the current speed and water depth. BTW, I love catching walleyes in current. They really crack the bait. Tight Lines Everyone!! [/QUOTE]
