Advantages of Jigging a Rapala Rippin Rap or other Flashy/Noisy Lure for Walleyes while Ice Fishing
A very effective strategy while ice fishing is the one - two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking (a live minnow just off of the bottom) the other.
Using an aggressive lure, such as a Rapala Rippin Rap, or other flashy/noisy lure has advantages.
-It attracts fish to the area. Even if they are in more of a neutral mood and would prefer not chasing down a lure, but the easy meal of a live minnow on a hook (deadstick), it attracts them to your baits.
-It causes reaction strikes. Some fish, even if they aren't intending to eat, will strike at an aggressive lure out of instinct.
-It can be fished quickly with no bait. Whether you just caught a walleye and see another mark on your electronics, or you see a suspended fish on your electronics or you want to hole hop or ice troll looking for fish, this technique doesn't require bait and fishes fast. -
Deadsticking Walleyes While Ice Fishing With a Flexible Rod Tip
Using the one - two punch of a jigging line and deadstick (a live minnow just off of the bottom) is a very effective strategy. In this video, Joe Henry will share a deadsticking technique to catch more walleyes and saugers while ice fishing.
There are nuances anglers can take with a deadstick that will put more fish on the ice. One nuance is to use a flexible tip rod vs a bobber to detect the very light biters. There are times a walleye bite can be so subtle, it would be hard to detect with a bobber. Noticing very small changes such as the tip of the rod bouncing from the minnow swimming to nothing or simply an ever so slight pull down on the rod tip can be tell tale signs of a nice walleye.
