Do hair jigs, spinners and spoons have a place in walleye fishing?
All three do. A bucktail or marabou hair jig is a classic river and cold-water walleye bait: hair breathes at rest, so it keeps working through the long pauses that cold fish want, and it needs no live bait. Spinners appear in two forms — the crawler harness, trolled or drifted, and the weight-forward spinner tipped with a nightcrawler, cast, counted down and swum back, a long-standing Lake Erie method for suspended fish. Plain in-line spinners take river walleye at dusk. Spoons split the same way: jigging spoons for vertical work and ice, and light flutter spoons trolled behind divers or downriggers for suspended summer walleye on the Great Lakes. None replaces the jig-and-minnow or the crankbait, but each solves a specific problem.
