- I make my own bottom bouncers, fashioned after the “chugging irons” my dad used back in the 50s and 60s. They work like a charm and get my baits to the bottom where most of the walleye on Lake Erie live. I make them out of TIG rod, so they won’t rust and are as tough as nails. Making sure I have them in all sizes assures that I’m ready for any depth walter inhabits.
Chugging iron- only a few of us remember those.
Yep. Those were the days. Yellow Sally’s and June bug spinners
Fishing for walleye in 80ft lol
Yep. Our shallow fish (40 fow) moved from a temperature drop on Thursday and we ended up catching them 50 feet down over 92 feet. Erie is a different place for sure. Thanks for watching.
Why these amd not dipsies
Much easier to use when targeting fish on the bottom in any depth of water and I can go way slower. It makes it easier and a lot more fun for my clients to reel in walleye. Dipseys have their place but bottom bouncers can be utilized in more situations. Thanks for the great question.
@@JimHanelyfishing fair enough brother tight lines this year be safe
You too. Be safe out there!
@@JimHanelyfishing I do my best to unfortunately I cannot budget a bait of my own these days but time to time buddies let me take they’re boats out I’m up here in mentor grand river area
Hope you catch a monster.
What metal do you make those out of?
Thanks for watching. I use lead from various sources. Old sinkers, wheel and divers weights, lead window sash weights and duck decoy weights!
