I need to restock on my B fish N plastics and have a couple questions to ask:
1. What’s your guidelines for choosing between moxis and pulsars? I know many times it is “let the fish tell you”, but I mean more relating to water temperature, time of year,ect.
3. I like these plastics for pitching. Do they work for vertical jigging as well? (I use more of fluke shape baits for that). What’s your favorite for vertical jigging?
Thank You!
Most of the time, for vertical jigging, I would choose a Moxi over a Pulse-R. Both will work for vertical jigging though.
For pitching, either one of thos two could work out better than the other on any given day.
When dragging in the spring, we did best using the Pulse-R on pool 4 last year.
My favorite for vertical jigging bounces back & forth between a Moxi, Ringworm & a Paddle Tail.
My favorites for dragging or casting would probably be the Pulse-R, Ringworm & Moxi.
Not sure that helps you decide. I realize everyone isn’t going to carry everything like I do.
For vertical jigging, I’m the opposite of Joel. I like the original paddle tail or the pulse-r. Of course, I use a lot of ring worms and moxies as well. This time of year, I start with a pulse-r or paddle and go from there.
I’m a tackle junkie though, and like Joel, I have them all in the boat and lots of colors of each. If somebody made me pick just one, I would have to quit fishing.
Good thing we didn’t start in on the new 3″ moxi or smaller pulse-r’s. 
When choosing a plastic for vertical jigging, a great deal of what you choose depends on the action you give it when jigging.
Do you like to jig aggressively or barely at all?
Time of year will also make a big difference. Late, late fall & early winter, I’m much more likely to choose the bait with the least amount of action. (Paddle tail)
I won’t go into it any further than that as I’m pretty sure I could write a fairly length article pertaining to the choice of which plastic when vertical jigging, pitching or dragging.
I learn something everytime i log in. Thanks guys
Thank you for your replies. 
I totally agree with Joel and John.. 
I have three rods set up with different presentations… if your good at running both hands that will no doubt increase your odds.. once you find what they prefer double up on that body, keeping two different colors running all the time..
Right now Moxies seem to be working well in low light and after dark in my boat on pool 2. During the day pitching its pulse r’s. No idea why the fish prefer it this way.
Last year during the cold of the winter Pulse R’s seemed to be the way to go pitching for walleyes. In that cold water you could work these baits very slow and still get good action. Dragging at that time it was moxies.
Think the answer is better have some of each and let the fish tell you.
