It is conducive to use a longer snell in clearer waters, thus on Lake of the Woods, I normally go about 5′ or so as the water is stained. My go to set up is a two ounce bottom bouncer with a harness between 4-6′ long. You can put crawlers, minnows, leeches and plastics on a harness. The vibration of the spinner is sensed by the walleyes lateral line much like that of the prey they feed. The different color combinations of the beads and blades. Why are spinners for walleyes so effective? A lot of reasons, the flash of the blade. Semantics out of the way, these set ups are effective. When you are not using a night crawler, we don’t call is a crawler harness anymore, thus it’s a snelled spinner. Normally when water starts to hit the mid 50’s, it is time to start considering drifting or trolling with spinners.įirst off, a crawler harness and snelled spinner are basically the same thing. Spinners for walleyes really kicks into gear as the water begins to warm up. One of those arguments is, at times, you will simply catch more fish. However, there can be some very good arguments made in learning the nuances of pulling spinners for walleyes, also called crawler harnesses or simply snelled spinners with a crawler, minnow or leech can have big advantages. It still is the go to and super effective. It could be argued that the jig and minnow has caught more walleyes out of the big lake than any other presentation. For many, a classic jig and a minnow is the go to walleye presentation on Lake of the Woods.
