I have been using ringworms and paddle tails on lakes ever since i was introduced to them by Dean at Everts Resort in Red Wing.

they do seem to work best in weed areas or just off weed beds. cast them out and either slow retrieve over top of weeds or slow down the retrieve and pop the ringworm out of weeds with rod tip. I have noticed the walleyes will hit the bait quite hard (no easy bite) like a smallmouth bass.

Use the lightest precision jig head you can.
