Cranking up some Walleye with Lead-core!

[@fredgrems2167]

Thanks for wearing your life jackets. Lost a good friend a month ago to drowning. Never wore a life jacket as far as I knew and it ultimately cost him his life. Glad to see you back!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Sorry for your loss, I always wear them while driving, I sometimes don't fish in them, but it is better practice to fish in them for sure...

[@blaahster]

Ya wear them all the time, sorry for your loss!

[@adammead8197]

Right on bud! I might have to try lead core again. Didn't have much luck last time.

[@fishmojo865]

Hey Clayton. Great show. Bandit has a new shallow plug called B-Rotan. Same body, different bill and rattles. Supposed to have a more aggressive action. I still like to run mine off 3 ways instead of lead core. My shallow plugs are old school shallow Thundersticks and Bomber B15.

[@MrHarryson1985]

Okay very serious question. I'm honestly failing to understand. Why shallow diving crankbaits on lead core as opposed to just running deep diving crankbaits? Are you putting the shallow ones deeper than the deep divers would go?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Good question!! They will be running about the same depth. They just run a little less aggressive angle and have a little different wobble to them. I find the shallow cranks out perform the deeper ones at the start of fall but when the water cools the deeper ones will do better :)

[@MrHarryson1985]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors that makes sense! I was really wondering because it seemed like people favor lead core over running deep diving crankbaits a lot of the time. That makes total sense. Always enjoy your videos buddy. Thanks Clayton!

These fish you call "eaters", what size are you keeping?

good video clayton that lake your on is hot right now should come a few kms downs the road to round would be worth it 4 u i think on a boat shore casting is slow right now on round lake sk

[@kava8902]

Just got back from a smaller lake I fish up in Northwest Ontario. Been fishing it for years and never brought my core. Brought it this year and messed around one sunny windless afternoon. Trolled this rock\bolder hump that's surrounded by mud flats. 11 passes over and around the hump, 8 fish landed 19"-27", 2 missed fish and one pass with nothing. Was using the bandit walleye deeps, 20' of 12lb big game leader a little less than 2 color. My buddy and I are like next year we will definitely spend more time doing it and setting up trolls around some of the reefs. Deadly

Lead core is so old school! The old timers here used to say that is the only way to troll for lakers. I've never tried it myself... not yet anyway

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

It works!

[@josh8765]

I've never used leadcore before. How do you know what depth your bait is running at?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Trial and error, figure out what depth your bait is hitting bottom.

[@tuiflies5869]

Most run about 5’ of depth for every colour of line you let out while trolling at 2mph. Troll faster and it runs shallower, slower deeper. Each colour is 10 yards in length. The Sufix 832 Advanced Leadcore sinks about 8’ for every colour.

[@EquinsuOchaSportfishing]

Precision trolling app they have data for most to all lures That way you can tell what’s up when fish are suspended like a lot of lakes like Green Bay, Erie , Lake Superior etc

[@EquinsuOchaSportfishing]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors maybe on dark murky water lakes, clear water lakes they suspend I’ve been hammering several Great Lakes 20-35’ of water down 10-15’

Defenitly fun. I love fishing for them. My pb is 40 lbs. I have four in the 32 1/2 to 33 1/2lb range. I wanna get into walleye, bass, and muskey though. Only know trout and catfish lol. Caught a few nice trout last week out of a mountain feed creek while bait fishing for chubs.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Ya buddy!

[@larsvegas1505]

U should compare that leadcore to some normal fishing line.. like get a J braid grand x8... 0.06mm thats 11lb line... the picture u showed was .22mm for 12lb line (leadcore)... that means the leadcore line has like over 10-15 times the thickness a normal modern fishing line has... that extra thickness will create so much more dragg in the water that the 'lead' function doesnt do anything at all.. And ur better off just using line thats like less then half the thickness... (and twice as strong). Or just use .22 jbraid and have a 42lb line on instead of a 12...

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

You’ll never get a shallow river crank down 25 feet with normal line. That is the biggest difference.
