Walleye Spinnerbaiting
Anglers have been using Secret Weapon spinnerbaits in an innovate way to target bottom-hugging walleye. With a quick modification, you can convert a spinnerbait into a first-rate, bottom-bouncing, giant walleye snack. Here's how:
 - Remove the spinner blades and skirt from a 3/16-ounce spinnerbait.
- Thread the wire frame through the open end of a 3-1/2-inch tube jig and out through the nose, and then run it all the way down so the lead head is in the nose of the tube.
- Clip on a single #2 or #3 Colorado or Indiana SWL blade attachment.
The result resembles a giant beetle-spin.
Allow the rig to sink to the bottom of the river or lakebed and then drift or slowly troll it so that it hops, crawls, or skims along near or on the bottom, bouncing off rocks. Using a resiliant, thick-walled tube like the 3-inch Green Pumpkin Copper Teaser Tube by Driftwood Lures pictured above makes this a durable and surprisingly snag-resistant lure.
And don’t limit this to the walleye, sauger, and saugeye... you can round up the usual suspects — bass, northern pike, muskelunge, redfish, and snook — and they’ll slobber over it, too. And with the safety-pin frame, it retains a spinnerbait’s ability to come through brush and weeds with ease.
Using in-line spinner attachments, the blades will rotate at any speed above a dead stand-still; if you choose a swivel-mounted blades, it may flutter back and forth at extremely slow speeds but will revolve as the rate of retrieve increases.
