G. Loomis IMX-Pro Walleye Spinning Rods

$340.00 – $380.00

Reported by
Kail’s Fishing Reports

Crane Lake (MN)

Kail’s Fishing Reports reported catching Smallmouth Bass using the Vertical Jigging Deep (20'+) technique and G. Loomis IMX-Pro Walleye Spinning Rods on Crane Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Use your Electronics to locate mid lake rock pile humps with fish on them. Vertical Jig the Rapala Jigging Rap on and around the hump. Use a short snapping jig stroke. I like to use a snap swivel at the bait and tie a 5 foot piece of mono to the fireline but you can use a small swivel to connect the line also. Check the last few feet of line often for nicks in your line an knots. Good Luck!"

$155.00 – $165.00

Reported by
Kevin Langlands

Additional comments from this report: "Rig a Lunker City Fin-s-Minnow or your favorite soft plastic on a 3/4-1oz jig head with a stinger hook. 35-40 feet deep, surface water temp should be around 40 degrees"

Reported by
Zach Corbin

Lake Erie

Zach Corbin reported catching Walleye using the Vertical Jigging Deep (20'+) technique and St. Croix Eyecon Spinning Rods on Lake Erie. Additional comments from this report: "Caught them DEEP on the Canadian side. Jigging the bottom slowly in 40 foot of water as the fish awaited the mayfly hatch. 6 person limit in a couple of hours, they were biting good"

Reported by
Bryan Best

Castle Rock Lake (WI)

Bryan Best reported catching Walleye using the Vertical Jigging Deep (20'+) technique and St. Croix Eyecon Spinning Rods on Castle Rock Lake. Additional comments from this report: "The walleye bite has been great over the last several weeks between Castle Rock Lake and Wisconsin Dells Kilburn Dam. Tuesday we landed 79 walleye and kept 5 in the slot. Kalin’s Google Eye Live Bait Jig with minnow remain top presentation."

Jenko Double Down BFS Casting Rod - EOL

$129.99

Reported by
Niko Kitsinis

Brookville Lake (IN)

Niko Kitsinis reported catching Crappie using the Vertical Jigging Deep (20'+) technique and Jenko Double Down BFS Casting Rod - EOL on Brookville Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Found some schools of crappie hanging on timber in 25-40’ of water. The Bobby Garland rig with two different jig sizes seems to always work in this part of the country. Really heavy winds made it hard to stay on them in the kayak so it was a short trip. Got my first one of 2023 over 14”! That is a quality fish for around here. When I was able to stay on them they were ready to feed. If they are not smashing it, hit them in the nose with it and lift as slowly as you can. They like to chase it up. "
