How To Jig Walleyes Like A Pro

[@davidbenning7356]

As a beginner so late in life (50) and researching how to fish to help my son fall in love with a sport not available to me at his age is exhausting. Your advice in one video has been terrifically simple to understand. Understanding what is happening under the water by properly working your jig was eye opening. Definitely won over a subscriber who wants to pass on the experience to my son.

[@Jackson82747]

I’ve been fishing since i was 8 years old it is never to late to start fishing it can be done at all ages it can be as simple as a worm and a bobber it is easy to learn and a lot of fun I hope you and your son enjoy fishing

[@8bitblitz348]

God bless you man, hope you guys are still out catching lunkers, tight lines

[@Akimikinaak]

Troll crawler harness with a bottom bouncer . Easiest way to catch walleye. If you know where they're at

[@terrylenkey530]

I've been catching walleye jigging for years, but these tips will fine tune my technique. I like Tom's teaching, easy and he explains why each tip works.

[@fishgrubblades9835]

I've been walleye fishing for more years then I would like to admit, and I always still learn something from you.

[@sha6mm]

Nice video Tom. Now here is my tip to you and everyone else. It always seems like some one in the Boat will have the hot rod when Jig fishing and out catching other people in the boat. If this is happening to me it's time for a Beer or Coffee and watch the person who is catching the most fish see what color they are using and how they are rigging there bait and how they are working there Rod this is very important. I have seen where dragging a jig where it will out catch a jig hopping it, but this is usually when the water is cold I'm talking 33-38F they just will not chase a bait very far. But every day is unto itself, and remember sometimes watching someone can teach you a lot. TC

[@jackbowman8486]

Being new to walleye fishing I can't overemphasize the value of entertainment and educational video. I've caught myself watching the shows at least twice to get all the information and enjoyment. Keep up the great work!

[@BuildFixRepeatProductions]

Your videos were the beginning of my walleye addiction. Giving away a Piscifun reel is just icing on the cake! Keep up the good work!

[@kevinhildebrandt1812]

I have started using more techniques you talk about…it’s improved my “HOOKED UP” ratio a lot!! Thank you Tom you’re the Man!!!

[@JesseTheProfit]

just started fishing this year, everyone said i have to jig to catch walleye, so i tried, and tried, and tried and tried and tried.... man after watching this video i am pulling in keepers 4 and 5 at a time in just a couple hours on the boat. Thank you bro, seriously I never knew how much id love fishing, but actually catching fish is the secret sauce ... i used to get skunked time and time again till i started watching your vids.

[@tadler26]

Found your videos a couplee years ago. Now all I hear from my fishing buddies is who's giving me lessons because my catch rate has gone sky high. Thanks Tom for your great videos.

[@dwightlindahl4525]

One of the only fishing channels I wish the video's were twice as long. Great format, highly educational and enjoyable to watch.

[@kylelamprecht1327]

Tom goes deep into the details about how present lures to to walleye. Im new at this kind of fishing and I've learned a lot on how to get out there and fish for walleye . Thanks Tom

[@kboutdoors23]

Cant beat that value, especially now that the kids are hooked on fishing after watching your vids! Great work man.

[@jaegek]

Thanks for the video, absolutely crushed the walleye on Mississippi last night doing this technique. Got snagged on rocks way less and it really helped convince the fish to bite.

[@frankdohman2653]

Awesome videos, appreciate your time, and teaching skills. Thanks

[@Mike-qu5rv]

Yes I have one and I love it easy to use for my grandson

[@robertdestross1979]

Love your videos!! Thanks for your in-depth tips!

[@kevinotteson4858]

I don't care about the reel... Keep the jig videos coming. You are the man

[@nolanberg6366]

Guy, you're giving by far the most informational vids in the system. ICX 5 is on it's way here because of your channel. Keep dropping the knowledge. Thanks

[@shaneownbey]

Great video! I wish I could see an illustration of the movement of the jig. That would be helpful.

[@billdavis4270]

My son and I sure enjoy your videos.Best tips on walleye and fishing I have seen anywhere! If anybody should have a TV show on how too it`s you Tom.You have No idea how many people are better fisherman after the REAL info you have shared.Hope to win the reel to give to my son.He would be elated it was yours.Never heard of Piscifun reels until you.Hope to have a guided trip from you someday.Keep the videos coming.They are the best !!! Thanks

[@mikehaen625]

looks good I will try 1 xt or the cabon thanks for all the information on different ways to use jig baits

[@tyjones9314]

Started watching your videos about a month ago, had a hard time finding walleyes on a lake by me, implemented a lot of your techniques and last time out had 10 in an hour and a half. Love the videos.

[@victorwhang6152]

I've learned a lot from your videos and am a big Walleye fisherman here in Michigan. I've subscribed to both your channel and Piscifun and because of your recommendation, I have purchased 2 Piscifun reels in 2020 and used them very successfully. Great reels, superb performance at a very fair price point. Well done Tom!

[@trimbaker1893]

Hi Tom, I have been using what I learn from you, on speckled sea trout here in North Carolina. I think they are very similar to Walleye. Today I caught a limit in about an hour and one of them touched both ends of the cooler. I truly enjoy what you are doing. Thank you. George.

[@richardfultz9496]

Tom...bought 2 Piscifun 2000 reels and absolutely love them. I have been a Shimano guy for over 40 yrs. No more......thanks for the great advise.

[@scottengh1175]

Thanks. I have only used vertical fishing after finding the fish. This opens up lots of options

[@Sprikupnorth]

The info I’ve learned from watching your videos has been extremely beneficial on me catching more northern Michigan walleye, smallmouth, and northerns. Keep it up. Thanks!

[@antoniobostic6424]

I came across your video and was ecstatic that you use piscifun. My favorite reel for jigging is the carbon x 2 1000 on a ultra lite. The sensitivity on it is incredible. For a little reel the drag is phenomenal as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@makethemXearnit1]

The value of these reels is really good. I’ve actually been looking around all day today to find someone that made a video with a good rod and reel for jigging and vertically jigging. I remembered you and I can say you’re the reason for me learning more about the best type of rod and reel to use! Would love to have a reel like that!

[@eleganttilemarbleco.1734]

I really appreciate your advice. Your about the only one that has really consistent advice about fishing tatics. Also your methods are simple and easy to follow. Keep making great and informative videos.

[@umntom]

Beautiful fall colors in the background. Eyes getting flipped in the boat. What a way to spend a day!

[@aaronjohnson49]

Bought 2 carbon X 2000 reels for my river walleye setups because I believe in what Tom B is teaching and the product that Piscifun is producing keep it, this is a great partnership I hope to watch grow!

[@jessewahlin3603]

Love the channel Tom! I have been fishing like crazy and practicing using all of your tips. It has helped me a bunch and I am beyond grateful for the help. I fish in Minnesota and now need to try Wisconsin. Keep up the good work!

[@dancingbush5742]

I like to use any jig that reflects light in order to catch fish attention, small tiny lifts off the bottom about a foot or so ,

[@charlieshimeall173]

Simple. Understandable. Knowledgeable. Thanks Tom. Haven't done much walleye fishing but I'll be trying this out in the BWCA this week.

[@curtisfry820]

Stumbled across a video of your this spring an have been an avid follower since! Your tips an tactics are great an there’s not a more informative show on all of KZbin! Bought 3 of those reels this summer an they are phenomenal!

[@fishinforlikes1611]

Another solid video, definitely will be altering my jigging stroke and fishing with more confidence thanks to you and Surly! Fingers crossed for that reel, too. Thanks Tom!

[@miguelgarcia1025]

Great video. Very useful tips and examples.

[@glennbarry6327]

I enjoy watching all of your KZbin videos and your honest assessment of Piscifun reels.

[@shawnmcnulty1549]

White jig red eye with black dot and your teaching made me catch more fish at my camp in Northern Ontario. Thanks

[@paulfites2417]

Great video, I'm making a late summer trip to Quebec with grandsons and look forward to teaching them some new fun ways to catch walleyes. Thanks for the tips!

[@SBK504]

I have learned more in the past week since I found this channel on your five most recent videos that I have learned in almost a year in youtube. Great teaching style and content

[@Piscifun]

Great Video Tom, as always super informative! We appreciate you really putting our gear to the test over the last year!

[@bohemianbohunk931]

I bought the same set up you have: mojo bass and the piscifun cabon...my new favorites. Can feel every tick on the bottom.

[@markborchert9138]

Been a shimano man for nearly 40 years. They are getting out of my price point though. Big fan of your channel Tom. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming!

[@wolfgg1616]

Tom I am a beginner and you helped alot

[@rogerbald7058]

Would love to try a Piscifun. Online only concept is great. Love your videos.....Fish-Onnnnn!

[@markbenson3771]

Mr. Tom Boley, Live 1.5 hours to the east of ya!!! I loved your fall locations vid using my community!!! As you coursing through the lake map looking at deep flats for areas to target I realized where it was!!! As a long time fisherman, when I'm not fishing, I'm watching fishing. I would love to add a piscifun reel to my collection, so I can have another rod/reel laying on the deck ready for something different!!! Keep up the Great Video Work!!!

[@thomascarlton3724]

Great video as usual love the fact he helps eliminate wrong presentation mistakes.

[@gordcross1266]

Another great video Tom. Open water is done for me this season (boat storage today) so I will have to come back & watch again in the spring!

[@danielpritchard1465]

Probably one of the most helpful fishing videos I have ever watched, thanks man, subscribed

[@esoxinator968]

Awsome channel Tom shows wat I wanna know where when and how

[@garysolie13]

Appreciate the jigging tips. I will put them to use this spring, can't wait to get out there. I'm sure it will be interesting to try this in the Mississippi River.

[@fayebradt9803]

Thanks Tom for breaking it down. This video is amazing for teaching the do’s and dont’s on Jigging walleye.

[@nealn5120]

Love your channel. Keep the awesome content coming.

[@TomBoley]

Thanks for watching. I will keep it coming!

[@bringingupboysgorman8685]

love your videos. all i am thinking of is deer hunting right now but still cant stop watching our videos. keep it up.

[@tf7274]

We do a guided boat trip every year in Lake of the Woods...we have 3 fish on at a time alot. But I often catch more fish when we all have the same rig. I always walk my jig 6 inches at a time. It's also important to always choose the same side of the boat as the guide. Most often a guide will put the fish infront of him.

[@rogerramjet7567]

Information on steroids!!! Very appreciative Tom. Thanks so very much. Can’t wait to get on the water. Weeks away here in Michigan. Again, many thanks.

[@ronaldevans8060]

I am subscribed to your videos and love your presentation like a guy replied you learn more from you in 5 min than watching a 30 min fishing show!After watching the first video I bought the St Croix rod and the carbon x,just waiting for real to arrive from China,been a little delayed, so can’t wait to get fishing!

[@walleyehunter3652]

Awesome show and tips! Been hammering Winnipeg green backs a lot more consistently trying out these tips! 👍

[@blakedavis2232]

Thanks for the jigging tips. I am new into walleye fishing and can’t wait to try these Techniques.

[@rwradke]

Hi Tom. Love your videos. Bought my first Piscifun reel, the Carbon X 2000 and used it on my last fishing trip on Gull Lake and just LOVED IT! I have all Shimano reels and the Carbon X more than held its own. In fact I put the Shimano away and used the Carbon X 2000 the rest of the trip. Three thumbs up! 👍👍👍

[@ChrisB-xs4un]

Real talk Tom, I’m always hesitant to purchase cheaper reals that might not last. I like good quality products but coming from you I know it’s a good value and quality because you’re putting them to the test and putting to work !!

[@yarcraft1778]

Gonna try smaller strokes like you do. Thanks for the cool video.

[@MrRyanroos]

The best fishing information on KZbin! Always down to the finest details, even a moran like me can learn from your videos! Thanks

[@tniedzwiedz2583]

I ordered the carbon x 2000 reel, spooled it up and used it about a week ago and think it's a excellent reel period !!

[@rjmorales9412]

I've learned alot about walleye from watching your vids. Keep up the good content.

[@michaelfoy5461]

Great video! Ive been debating on what i need to get into walleye fishing. This is a great help. 👍

[@gerryneher3794]

fantastic video - I have been doing it wrong all these years - tried your way and limited out - Thank You

[@larryvilliard2628]

Thanks much Tom for the great video! I live not far from Hayward but have not been a big open water walleye fisherman. I fish them mostly during ice time! So I learned a lot that will help me jig. Plan to hit the open water much more now that I am retiring this June! Thanks again!

[@bbnnybunny8356]

Love the videos! I would love one of those rod give aways! I'm in Canada! Yay!! Your easy to listen too and learn! Thanks!!

[@aaronkellar6583]

interesting advice, im from canada NW Ontario, Rainy Lake is my main lake and theres tons of walleyes where ive grown up dragging on the bottom and they love just picking it off the bottom... i moved to southern ontario where theres a little more fishing pressure do to population and ive struggled a bit more, im going to totally apply this and hopefully it works!

[@travisthatcher6052]

Would love to give it a try!! Enjoy all of your info Tom!! Getting better each time out with your info!!

[@garygrosz9957]

Tom is doing a super job helping me with my fishing. Lots of good info. Thanks Tom

[@3210999]

Huge fan of the Piscifun reels. Got my first CarbonX 1000 a year ago and , picked up two more soon after. The 1000 is the smallest size, works great for jigging walleye and is also a fantastic panfish reel. will also be picking up a couple size 2000 to replace a couple rigging/trolling reels (pfluegers), ( or likely just buy more rods for new reels, don't tell my wife, can never have too many combos ) Tight Lines. Huge Piscifun Endorsement. They are exactly as you describe. The Carbon X compares to the Diawa Tatula, or the Okuma Helios only just over a 1/4 the price. I honestly believe the Piscifun reels are better.

[@tomweaver4908]

Great video on the basics of jig fishing not only for the novice but the experienced anglers as well. Keep the good work going......

[@tomgirardin8862]

Once again Tom another quality video. Thanks for taking the time to teach.

[@chrisludston1455]

Piscifun looks like a great reel, especially for the price. I use shimano, but have not been happy with them lately. I just spent 8 days in Winnecone, the walleye were incredible, but had to clean and lube my reels twice, during the trip. Seems like their quality has dropped lately, I'm looking for something better. Thanks for all the tips. With your help, I've gone from throwing a line, and hoping for anything, to knowing what I'm doing, targeting and landing nice fish. My buddies notice, and can't believe the difference. Please keep the videos coming. Thanks

[@jamieforsythe3501]

Awesome company and reel! The piscifun is a total badass in the boat!

[@lauriecraft3073]

I am becoming addicted to your videos! I have learned a ton! Love these reels!!! 💕 🎣

[@tygs6984]

Great video Mr.Boley never heard of Piscifun until I found your KZbin. I may have to get one to try my reel broke this summer.

[@JimLathrop]

Your instruction style suits my wife well, she is learning a lot.

[@michaelburdosh6431]

I bought one this summer & love the real, for the price you can't ask for anything better. Plan to buy more for next summer

[@timmurray279]

Great job Tom.

[@jlkidd25]

I actually have a piscifun flame 2000. I bought their baitcaster last year and really liked it so i decided to try a spinning reel. I think they're a great affordable reel. I definitely don't feel like i'm losing out an any quality with paying less than I would for some of the more popular brands. I'd love to give XT a shot! Keep up the awesome vids, thanks!

[@boomn216]

I like the VMC and Half Moon jigs. I also jig worm it as well as swimbait it.

[@toddmarkowski7871]

Bought a Piscifun Carbon X200 reel this summer, and it is worth every penny and more. Caught a tank of a bass with it and the drag was silky smooth.

[@dylangreenhalgh8077]

Really enjoyed the video. My brother and I do most of my walleye fishing in NE Ontario. Typically the walleye in the lake we fish are in 35 to 60 feet depth and we back troll using jigs. On a good day we catch (and release) 75 to 100 and on a really bad day between 20 to 30. I can’t wait to try the reel next summer. If we like it most of our friends will follow suit.

[@coreywhitten1088]

May I ask where you fish in north east Ontario? I’d like to take my parents who are both 76, and love pickerel fishing. They’ve always gone to Napanee, but the campground is all permanents now, and they’ve slowed down in ability, now looking at some final years to get them out on the water while they can.

[@troybacker6221]

First time watching your program, I think its great!. Not a lot of bs and nice clear instructions. Keep it up and I'll keep watching!

[@Outlaw405]

Looks like a good reel to try ice fishing this January at Lake of the Woods. Great video Tom I use your info and methods for saugeye and walleye here in Oklahoma.

[@jaylemay4194]

Tom thanks for taking the time to share such details in your info. Cant wait to put the jigging rap tips to ise on the Columbia River here in WA

[@markelliott3050]

Great video as usual Tom... thanks. A KZbin subscriber to Tom Boley and now Piscifun. Have the St. Croix MJ Bass 6'8" & 6'10" Just bought the carbon X 2000 to replace a reel that had a broken bail spring. Have not got it wet yet. Looking forward to it next summer in the Hayward area.

[@benrollinh526]

As always great stuff here! I trust your wealth of wisdom above many other professional anglers. But I'm not sure I could ever switch from Shimano reels. Every time I've tried something else, it's failed me. Customer service is top notch and if parts wear out they're easily accessible.

[@williammawk1720]

I always enjoy watching and learning from your videos, Thanks. I have so many rods and reels now I needd to have a sporting goods yard sale in the spring so don't need any reels but I will go check them out.

[@LauraZimmerman-mz5yk]

Need a good fishing reel if this contest is still a thing. Im not holding my breath but ive been getting back into fishing and would love to have a good reel! Thank you for your amazingly informative videos and for taking the tedius time to put all links below for what types of fishing gear and luers you use. My bf loves walleye fishing and i looked up ur video to learn techniques on how to jig so we can catch more walleye and also i am still needin to catch my first walleye! Thank you for explaining everything in a way that is easy to comprehend for begginers and also thx for explaining how it feels when doing technique so i know if im doing it right haha. God bless you! Hope youtube pays ya for all this wisdom!😊

[@vnjdv]

Wow, saw this tutorial 3 days ago and applied it. Ive been fishing wrong this whole time. Great points and techniques covered!

[@rogerbublitz1722]

Tom, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I always like watching your videos, great information.

[@zachphelps8270]

I’d love to try one of the piscifun reels, can’t deny you put them to the test day in and day out which gives a guy confidence in them. Would love to get one!

[@dalekonkol2249]

I bought a Piscifun reel about 3 weeks ago after being introduced to it by watching Tom's videos. I bought the Honor XT, a great reel!

[@thomplatt8945]

Nice explanation on your video. Nice to know why you fish the way you do.

[@brettseaberg5033]

Pre spawn, around here, the drag method works. I was shore fishing, with guys all around me, and they were whipping the jig up like you, not catching a damn thing. I dragged mine and had my limit in 2 hours. I wouldn't totally eliminate the drag method. When the walleye are about to spawn or post spawn, they ain't chasing much but will strike a slower presentation.
