Shallow, aggressive walleyes are easy targets for plastics fished in the warming waters of early summer. I’ve been enjoying a very consistent plastics bite for walleyes recently, focusing nearly exclusively on Goldcracker Paddletails from B-Fish-N tackle.
One of the things that I’ve been doing is modifying the paddletails according to my Tournament-tested tackle tip #1. This modification gives the paddletails a gentle, crankbait-like wobble as you retrieve them. My retrieves are steady, focusing on the upper couple feet of the water column.
