[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 292890, member: 983"] I saw some stuff that the Next Bite had coming out on trolling swimbaits for walleyes. I did not see the episode though. I've read for years in In-Fisherman about swimbaits but haven't used them much. I don't do enough casting and the few times I have the results have been iffy. But trolling them (or other softbaits) does intrigue me a bit more. I watched a Linder video where they were pulling swimbaits between 1-1.4 mph. Also read an article that said the big difference when trolling them was you still had to set the hook. Anyone try it? A 3/4-1oz head should get it down there at the slower speeds. If not a Guppy or other trolling weight would work too. Not sure that it would really be any better than a crankbait at times, but would not mind to try it. [/QUOTE]
