I am looking for any suggestions on walleye lures for ice-fishing. I plan on getting into ice-fishing this year and have no idea on goto lures.

Swedish Pimple
Swedish Pimple
Swedish PimpleThe Swedish Pimple is a superb jigging lure. This type of lure has been widely used in Sweden for over 100 years with exceptional results on both fresh and salt-water fish. Jig it, summer or winter!
Their proven ability to take walleye, trout, Coho salmon, northern, bass, pan fish and many salt water species makes owning this lure a must for most fishermen. As a general rule the larger sizes are for game fish in deep water lakes.
The smaller sizes are for pan fish in shallow lakes; or trout, bass, etc. in rivers. All sizes will produce game fish and pan fish if both types inhabit the same waters. Ultra-lite and light action rods, with balanced reels spooled with 2 or 4 lb. Test line teamed with a Swedish Pimple, Vingla or Flute Spoon has brought many large pan fish to the dinner table.
Our smallest size Swedish Pimples, Vinglas and Flute Spoons with treble hooks that are tipped with a small minnow, wiggler or grub do well.
Often a perch eye on a single hook is a real producer of perch, crappie and stray walleye or white bass. The eye has a strong odor and is so tough; several hard bites will not remove it. If you miss a bite, you can often tease the fish into coming back for more because the bait is still on. When fishing for crappies, retrieve the Swedish Pimple, Vingla or Flute Spoon slowly by sunken timer brush or weeds. A #2WP Swedish Pimple with a single hook tipped with a white plastic grub is extremely effective for vertical jigging crappies by sunken docks or timbers or try a #2PS retrieved slowly for perch.
Use a #2, 3, 4 or 5 Swedish Pimple, Flute Spoon or Vingla for best results on pan fish and game fish in shallower waters. Used with a lift, fall and pause retrieve, they are good spinning spoons for all game and pan fish. To use as a spinning lure with a straight I or interrupted retrieve, reverse the location of the red flipper for more kick to the lure (i.e. remove the flipper and reinstall it on the flat side of the Pimple). A bonus Single Baiter Hook and Flipper is supplied with sizes 2,3 and 4.
The largest sizes are fast becoming favorite salt-water lures. Use a sharp lift and settle routine in your retrieve for the most erratic action to simulate the injured baitfish action most prize fish can’t resist.
Larger size treble hooks can be installed to suit most needs without harming the action and attraction at the strike zone.
These fine lures, forged of solid brass are available in six lustrous metallic finishes in metal, eight prism colors, white pearl and three fluorescent colors.
The finishes, in ratio to sales preference are Nickel, Gold, White Pearl, Silver and Copper.

That seems like a good deal, I may have to grab one of those myself.
I can’t believe nobody mentioned the Lightning Spoons specifically?! Lace one of those up with a minnow head and your probably going to catch some walleye. My buddy Jakob and I call that lure “The Chris G. Special”. Check out some of Granruds ice fishing posts in the Rainy Lake forum and you’ll understand why.
Just caught this thread. Thanks Ryan.
Yes “The Chris G. Special” LOL!! The Lightning spoon in the 1/8 oz. size is one of my absolute favorites. One of the big differences between the Lightning spoon and some of the others mentioned is the bend in the spoon. This gives it a great wounded wobble while jigging.Luke has also mentioned the slender Spoon. This is a spoon I plan on using it bit more early in the season. This light spoon falls very slowly and can be deadly on all species of fish, but for me Walleyes that time of year.
Beyond that sometimes big walleyes like a full minnow. Take a 1/8 oz. H20 Precision jig and tip it with a shiner. I like to always have a tipped presentation with 1/2 a minnow and a full minnow at the dinner table. The Walleyes will tell you what’s for dinner!!
November 28, 2011 at 1:49 pm #1012643BRING ON DECEMBER WALLEYES!! Here’s a few victims of our December 2010 Big Walleye Blitz!! BTW Last year was an off year based on previous seasons. Slush severely hindered our travel. Oh and Lightning spoons caught 90% of these fish!!
You MIGHT want to pick a few, and remember the hot color is ALWAYS the one you picked up…….1 of!! At least that’s what I tell my buddies. “Sorry guys I just have one of that color”
<img src="/wp-content/uploads/bbu_images/fishing/post_images/1November 28, 2011 at 2:02 pm #1012649I have done best with the buck shots, seems like I always have atleast one tied on to one of my rods at all times.
November 28, 2011 at 2:47 pm #1012664When using a swedish pimple, slender spoon, lightning spoon or anything like that. Do you tip them with a minnow head or just leave empty?
November 28, 2011 at 2:57 pm #1012667I will always tip the spoon. It could be with: One head, two heads, tail without head or a whole minnow.
November 28, 2011 at 3:37 pm #1012678I always use just the head.

Rip the back 1/3 of the minnow’s tail section off leaving you with the head 2/3. Then slightly pinch the minnow to remove or pop the minnows air bladder. If you don’t do this your minnow will float up and change your action. Then if your hardcore and want to trigger a few more fish; Use your scissors to cut up the gut and up the back slightly. This will greatly enhance the action. Big walleyes have a tough time resisting……..RUMOR HAS IT.
November 28, 2011 at 8:42 pm #1012741using those slender spoons/those super thin light ones do you put a little slip shot on there to get it back down the hole quicker? as it seems the slender spoon (if i am thinking the right jig) takes forever to get down to the bottom for the perch.
November 28, 2011 at 9:46 pm #1012753I’m going to be using the Slender spoon in a shallow water bite here shortly. Yes they will take longer to descend than other spoons. Still in a finicky bite it might be worth the wait.
I think a guy could get away with using a split shot especially with perch.November 28, 2011 at 9:49 pm #1012757I wanted to second, or third the Pimple. The copper pimple with a minnow head, outta site! I’ve had to replace the treble hook on it about 20 times cuz they because the walleyes do seem to like it. Also works great for suspended crappies and white bass.

One of the coolest things about the slender spoon is it’s ability to “fly” when I say fly I mean if you let it fall on a totally slack line it will glide up to 10 feet off to the side. Then all you have to do is hop it back but it usually doesn’t make it all the way back.
November 29, 2011 at 1:03 pm #1012907I just need to say how I am always surprised at the information people freely give on this site. People are willing to share their passion with everyone and though I don’t think I have ever met any of you… this is a great community to be a part of.

As I’ve said before IDO has a lot of high caliber fisherman. Trust me even as a full-time fishing guide I get tips as well!! Fact of the matter is we all simply like to catch fish!!
November 29, 2011 at 4:39 pm #1012976what about kastmaster spoons? i picked upa couple a year or 2 ago and no luck.

An 1/8th oz of a slender spoon weighs just as much as anything else 1/8th oz, however it falls at a different rate because of the way the lure is cupped and often times at different angles like mentioned earlier, this is what triggers the fish to bite.
November 29, 2011 at 6:20 pm #1013012ok, when using the thinner baits are you using them in deep (30 + feet) medium (20-30 feet) or under 20? just curious as they are so hard to see on the flasher. granted I only have teh lx-1 and like it, but have a harder timer [picking up the smaller baits even turning up the gain.
thanks

Most of the time on Mille Lacs using the 1/8th slender spoon on the mud flats the gain will need to be adjusted slightly to account for the thin profile like you mentioned, however with that slight adjustment you should feel comfortable fishing the 1/8th oz slender spoon in water like Mille lacs, like 33-34 feet off the flats.
Turning the gain up to 3-5 should be more than enough on the VX-1 to see a slender spoon in 30+ feet of water.November 29, 2011 at 6:55 pm #1013026Quote:
