[@erdricksword3684]

This was a great video, actually shows what to do and how

[@joey-zy6ki]

ive been catching tons of walleye with a sinker on the bottom in 4 ft of water with cut bluegill lol

[@johnwalker9388]

Best jigs out there I have a shoe box full,of all the sizes

[@crappycrappie1702]

Still the best in 2019

[@JeffreyRoost-nz1pl]

i wish the trigger x baits were around in 2024

[@sunrise7ranch85]

Thank you for the infomercial but I still have no clue what the "moping technique" is or how to perform it

[@dougamclean]

+Josh_Outdoors Agreed..spent 19seconds explaining the technic of the 3min+ video. Clearly not a fishing tip vid but a commercial attempting to disguise. But not done well.. This is the exact reason I'm not a fan of the Lindner channel..spends too much time talking about product. Some pro fishers are like that..

[@over9000pontiacs]

+Josh_Outdoors
does he need to explain how to breathe for you as well? You saw the lures, weight and line he was using so what else do you need?

[@sunrise7ranch85]

It says "moping technique explained" not tackle explained. I have never heard of the term "moping" in regards to a fishing technique anywhere other than this particular clip. After re-watching the clip I think it may be a northern term for what we call "dead sticking" but not sure since the technique was not explained other than letting it glide and bounce with the action of the boat.

[@mackredsnapper]

+Doug McLean Yep and Doug Stange on the InFisherman does the same dang thing. I used to love the magazine and it does have good information but I got tired of being bombarded with the shows/magazines constant push of the sponsors products.

[@MOJO89OTDT]

I think they meant "hoping"...as in hoping at some point it is going to be clarified.

[@memosvlogs7904]

good video. .

[@danharden7529]

Can this patter cross over to smallies as well? A lot of our bass lakes in Maine have good smelt populations.

[@mcspeedypantsjr5713]

Super Troopers 2

[@WheresTheSauce]

What about this is new? I've been doing this for years now and FYI it's called
"dead heading" in Canada

[@fearlessamp9590]

What plastic is that ?

[@aladent]

Trigger X 5 inch minnow.

[@TheMcChesneys]

It's been proven that flourocarbon stretches more than a good mono. I like the vid, but felt like a product infomercial

[@tannerfrancisco8759]

Fluoro stretches more once it approaches it's breaking strength, but mono begins stretching at a fraction of it's breaking strength and keeps stretching until it breaks.
When mono starts stretching at 25% it's breaking strength and affects it's performance 1000 x more, claiming fluoro stretches more is just dumb.

[@uncleheffe309]

Those are teenie baits, every walleye I caught last year was on big musky lures.

[@lunkertime]

pinch yer barbs lol fer crist sakes pinch yer barbs ha

[@LunDriver90]

This video was difficult to watch; way too much glare from shooting it into the sun. I'm surprised that Lindner would do that.

[@jeffzabriskie9689]

complain a little more

[@chrisp2876]

Jim Balzer
it's not all that bad, is it?

[@steveg2509]

Jim Balzer always a complainer in the bunch, lets watch his video to see how it's done

[@thomaskoneck3352]

Must be nice to fish lakes like that. Nebraska sucks

[@steventate1895]

th-cam.com/video/9qsb9znQH20/w-d-xo.html Looks good to me. But what do I know I'm not from Nebraska .

[@fishingstix610]

uhhh no vmc is a garbage brand got snagged and the hook broke before my 10lb braid did LMAO

[@montanaflytyer]

you are right...I have never found a vmc hook capable of holding a 20 inch walleye!!! they suck!!!

[@johnwilkening5262]

lol

[@reggaetony2806]

Vmc jigs suck.
