My Favorite Walleye Lure - Jigging Rap Tips

[@ryanquernemoen9845]

Thank you @tomboley, I am new to jig rap fishing and am trying this out on a body of water that I am learning. Great tool! Thanks again!

[@jwill9877]

For casting I like to use shiver minnows they seem to foul less, but nothing beats a jigging rap vertically exactly the way you demonstrated. That slower slack less fall makes all the difference.

[@path1778]

Had to rewatch my 1st Boley video, Tom, you've come a long way from your early work but the original content here still works, Congrats.

[@dvarcham]

Used a Jiggin rap this morning, because of this video. Caught 2 walleye in about 20 seconds. Then I got snagged. Will definitely be buying more, and adding them to my Walleye fishing tackle! Thanks Tom!

[@TomBoley]

Thank you. Good work!

[@DirtyJobsGuy1]

I've watched your video twice now! Love how you explained how to use your cadence! I used your technique last weekend, I didn't catch a Walleye but I did catch a big crappie! I marked fish right on the bottom of a mid lake hump, but couldn't get them to bite.

[@EDLaw-wo5it]

I am moving to walleye country and so I must learn about walleye after years of fishing stripers and crappie You earned a new sub. Your vid was very helpful . Havagudun and good fishing.

[@gary144]

Jigging raps can be so much fun! Great explanation

[@hcso2445]

This video helped me out on the Ontario side of Lake of the Woods tremendously. Thanks!

[@hankvana2149]

Used the jigging raps through the ice - will give them a go on the deep water walleye in the local lakes! Thanks Tom!

[@chuckcregger8527]

Cat like reflexes with the fumbled vertical walleye--just get you one of those reacher grabby tool things old folks use and pluck them off the bottom. Thanks and keep'em comin.

[@WillowpineOutdoors]

I like the part where you said "I need to use #9's more" lol. I've said more than once to myself "I need to use #7's more!" Good video, you guys fish them a little different up in WI than we do in Indiana, but same principle. Like seeing how other guys work them.

[@TruBonehead]

Tom could play wide receiver with hands like that! He caught that walleye out of the air 3-4 times!

[@kurtfredregill3324]

This video helped me a lot the day wasn’t catching anything tried a lot of different lures and tided on jigging rap used how you shown and caught a fish first cast and started catch walleye the rest of day you helped a lot with this video thanks for the tricks you show great video

[@ripptydevibes2581]

Thats how I get them vertical for Sea Bass in the ocean at 80'. Just like rowing jigs for walleye, short sharp hop and gently follow the weight of the lure and then suspend it off bottom an inch. Those lures are killer for any baitfish eating targeting scenario.

[@Moondog9322]

Another great video! Very instructional and also entertaining. Feels like I'm on a charter trip with you. Excellent editing quality, too. Keep up the good work!

[@randykempf2694]

Great video, I really like how you give in depth details on how to use and technique.

[@TheShelltrack]

Awesome video! Very helpful and specific! I usually use these lures for ice fishing and wasn't sure if you could cast them. Can't wait to go out to my favorite walleye lake and try out the new techniques!

[@89shmike]

These old vids are awesome lol

[@TomBoley]

They are crazy

[@bjv1899]

If you cut the two end hooks off and replace the treble with one or two size larger treble you won’t lose as many fish. And you won’t snag up in the net as much nor will you hook yourself as much either.

[@queeky00]

Totally agree! Especially the front hook. Never see them bite the front.

[@etillema]

Thanks for the video. We are going to Erie in July and look forward to using your tips. Thanks.

[@sawyerjames3243]

I was jigging rap fishing last year and my line kept fouling on the tip. How can I prevent this?

[@kappster1]

Thanks Tom....you do a very good job on your videos !!

[@TomBoley]

Tha is for watching!

[@shermanpup]

that music in the background, I would rather hear the engine, and a lot of reflection on you graph ? Great information video best I have seen on the jigging Raps

[@rltkktlr]

Hey Tom, great videos!! Thanks for sharing your professional expertise!!

[@montellwilliams811]

Say , can I troll with this - lure ?

[@Askeyb2011]

Great video. We have only done a little bit of Walleye fishing on the Columbia River here in Oregon. I would think this jigging would work in the right areas. We also have a Helix 12 Mega Si G2N. Finally got it dialed in to see fish pretty good Si, Di and Sonar. Plus the Navionics+ West updates with the Sonar Charts Live gave me an area that isn't on any commercial map. Not sure where your fishing.

[@jeffreywatkin4904]

Great content as always man. Keep it up!

[@Frank-gv6fs]

Nice tips and tricks bud defiantly will put them to use when i go back out in the next couple of weeks

[@drmurphy9219]

A school, it’s a school of fish, pods are for Orcas, but when I do what you show me, I catch walleye!

[@chrishillard4950]

Nice video! Curious how you prevent pike bite-offs?

[@ralphwitt9975]

Thanks makes sense!! Will have to get in the habit of doing that.

[@montellwilliams811]

Say , can I troll with the lure ?

[@pikeahontis1996]

Hi Tom, Great video. I've been intending to start using the jigging raps and shiver minnow this year and your video really helps out. What a coincidence. The guy with the "Goofey" colored clothes has the exact same boat that you do. Right down to the downrigger, Marcum camera, fish finder and outboard. I think I'll dress like that next time out and see if it increases my luck! Thanks again for the informative video. It's cold here in Washington state right now and we're finding fish in 75 feet of water. Have you ever fished the jigging raps in water that deep?

[@1234567asdf1209]

I think it's tom

[@TomBoley]

I have never fished that deep. They are a great bait and with the correct clothing combination the system is unbeatable!

[@rana8498]

Bro I’m really enjoying your videos!!✌🏼✊🏼

[@queeky00]

Hey Tom, I subscribed. Nice videos! I hear you talk about Jigging Raps. What do you think about Snap Raps, and how do you compare the two?

[@paulfrank9725]

Hi Tom! Love that video! I have seen several of the Lindner Videos on the jigging Raps and very excited to try. I am from Southern Michigan. I have heard guys on the tour using them in Sagiaw bay and doing well but it seems unheard of on the inland lakes around here. The lakes are deep but not as much rock as up north. Will this lure still work?? I bought 15 of them so I sure hope they will. Would love your opinion

[@TomBoley]

They everywhere walleye live

[@paulfrank9725]

@@TomBoley A guy who fishes the tour told me that there is to much moss on the bottom and the bottom isnt hard enough. I dont buy that because watching you ...you just barly let it hit the bottom so if the walleye are there it should work. I like that you said you get them in a softer bottom. The lake Im going to focus on is a bass lake but has been heavy stock with eyes since 2011. We have been catching walleye right with the bass in low light time so I think they have to be in the deep during the day.

[@paulfrank9725]

Do you always look for them on the finder before you fish or do more of a slow troll till you find them?

[@Dbars19]

You ever do musky jigging with a bondy bait?

[@unclewreckum4504]

Take that back hook off and put on a two way treble hook on that comes off an H&H spinner bait. Soooo many applications for those hooks

[@seankaslow1900]

I have used a snap swivel onto the bait and just tied it directly as well, still using a floro lead with a swivel. Have You noticed a difference at all using a snap swivel versus tying directly to the rap ?

[@ralphwitt9975]

Tom why when you have a fish on do you pull line out with your hand? I notice you do that often?

[@warddan2002]

Ralph, I do that to double check drag. I think that's why tom does that.

[@MichaelJones-rn2pq]

I am going to Leech Lake the last week of July, so I will be binge watching your excellent videos. Also, it's okay by me if you fishing video guys throw the fish back sooner than later. I don't need to see it for a long, long time.

[@shawnbeck3962]

How did you do?

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

Planning to try the jigging rap on St . Clair this year.

[@paulfrank9725]

How did you do on St.Clair?

[@mgc8976]

Does the snap jigging technique with jigging raps work at night as well or only during the daytime ?

[@jdean1851]

Thanks" 4 posting All your Tip Vids! Much Appreciated in Idaho!

[@rsdrummer1]

Thanks Tom for all of the information that you put out. Great Job!

[@danielw5361]

Great vid mate ! Very informative.Great job👍

[@garybowers9605]

Very good video. Now is there a difference between using a jigging rap or a shiver minnow?

[@TomBoley]

I honestly haven't experimented much with other brands. Would be a good video in the future...........

[@glynnplantz1159]

Tom Boley do a shiver minnow vs jigging rap challenge video!

[@garybowers9605]

Good idea!

[@TritonMan]

Awesome video of this fishing technique. I'll give it a try next time thanks to this video. Subscribed and I'll check out your other videos.

[@jonconrad6460]

Hi Tom, Do you guide professionally in the hayward lakes area. I am there every year with family would like to discuss if you do! Great videos, great information.

[@TomBoley]

Jon Conrad yes I do! Feel free to contact me anytime! Www.tomboley.com

[@joemartin6439]

Hi Tom , sure wish for a reply.. my Garmin fish-finder die today. Need another finder. What do you think my price range should be? Live in Canada

[@TomBoley]

I run hummingbird helix gen 3+

[@GustyMidwest]

Nice work I’ll subscribe.

[@tcbridges]

Love watching your Videos they have really helped me. Could you tell me the rod & reel combo your using . Keep the camera rolling for us. What are the Cabela's wader pants your wearing. They look perfect for fishing in the boat over jeans Thank You

[@WalterFinley]

Thomas Bridges please share our fishing song video & help us get subscribers? kzbin.info/www/bejne/romUeqSCppKfrsk

[@gerardhaubert8210]

Do these baits come in different lengths and / or weights

[@jayfogarty7544]

What size barrel swivel do you use if you attach floral carbon line to your main? Size #10

[@garymarch4711]

Catching Walleye with a Mojo BASS rod... Amazing. Good vid

[@montellwilliams811]

Say , did he say place a steel leader on the line ?

[@tomweaver4908]

Great video Tom, Looks like Wisconsin lakes are as good as Minnesota waters. Is that a Marcum camera on your boat or a flasher?

[@TomBoley]

Tom Weaver Thanks Tom, that's a camera. Love using it all season long.

[@jeremyanaya5102]

Great stuff Tom, thanks! What song is playing in the background? I like it

[@glynnplantz1159]

Awesome follow up!

[@psauerfish]

Do you use jigging raps for ice fishing also? And if you do, do you fish them aggressive like you do in this show? Thanks

[@brianarnes193]

Geeat videos Tom keep it up. Nice dog!

[@markblix6880]

Just watched Target Walleye doing Jigging Raps.

[@francismotzko8487]

From the studies that have been done I've read that walleyes caught from water deeper than 25 feet will all die anyway if you release them. You said you were fishing 35 feet of water. So you should either quit fishing that deep of water or keep one or two and get out of there and quit wasting fish.

[@WillowpineOutdoors]

This can be true, but isn't 100%. Some will turn over, some will be just fine. We catch them in November off bridge pilings in 60' of water. The ones that turn over, their swim bladder either needs to be punctured (fizzed), or you need to help them get on their way. Here is a video on how to fizz them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4qbd3iprdloebM

[@paulpopp1999]

Why do they die when released from deeper water?

[@nicholasdecarlo8296]

Man awesome video...I wondered how these guys were doing this

[@HookLineandKyleP]

Another great video! Great looking walleyes!

[@jjducharme1]

Thanks. In MN any fish not hooked in the mouth is snagged (or foul hooked old language) and has to be tossed back immediately.

[@leekflower1]

What test line do you use

[@mackenzieneale499]

Solid advice, great explanations

[@e1n1trenton98]

Man, that old Evanrude was like an ideling bulldozer

[@superdkano]

Wait...you say “I saw this guy wearing goofy clothes” but the name bar underneath that guy says “Tom Boley”?! You ARE the Walleye Batman aren’t you! Great video man.

[@jerjerblanks217]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@shaunanthony5206]

Wow that's really Cool

[@nolanwalker1134]

Nice tips although the lure shot wasent much but the tips were helpful thanks for sharing

[@ferdiestrang2162]

What kind of lure is that i am new to fishing. Does that sink on its own

[@zc_angling]

Ferdie Strang it sinks like a rock. Very heavy lure for getting down to the fish fast

[@summitreigns1657]

How deep of water were you vertically jigging the rap in the video ???

[@bradyroy8809]

How far is the 2nd two thirds of a cast? 🤔 haha. Nice video 👍🏼

[@joesteen9742]

Tom dream video! Ready to fish pmytuming yet Ohio?

[@joesteen9742]

Great

[@Stumpjack]

Great video tutorial.

[@limestonelizard]

great info thanks for sharing

[@Ed_Row_Feez]

Thanks for the tips buddy nice video

[@nolanpieper3069]

What size rap is your go to

[@joesteen9742]

Great job

[@matthalischuk1103]

Will this work on a clay bottom? Would i need to add flavour? The redriver is super murky 0 visability

[@TomBoley]

+Matt Halischuk I'm sure if you slowed it down it would. Sometimes adding a as mall peice of scented bait yo the treble can help.

[@michaelprevost1229]

Thanks for the tips..I love the lure

[@jbird68]

How do you stop so quickly when you see fish on the depth finder? I always seem to fly by the spot and miss the fish.

[@kylecallbeck]

Slam er in reverse and gun it, man! We do the same thing laker jigging

[@DirtyJobsGuy1]

What tine of year do you use these most?

[@TomBoley]

Michael Rowe summer

[@erichovatt]

8-12 lb test? Wouldn’t get away with that on a clear Minnesota lake

[@BrettJarvi]

Anything smaller than 8lb in MN, Northern's are gonna bust your line over and over.

[@humblehombre9904]

Brother, how about no music? Just the outdoors eh!

[@walleyewarriorsoutdoors9588]

Love jigging raps

[@imresimon4339]

Which exact type of spinning rod are you using here?

[@TomBoley]

St Croix mojo bass 610mlxf

[@barrydeacon3551]

Good video!!! Great tips. Thank you👍 B a Deacon Mb Canada 🇨🇦

[@wired4fishing690]

Awesome 🎣😉

[@-a-strikelures1212]

Find a school. Set spot lock. Put shad scent on your jig. Start jigging

[@mbach7247]

Do you ice fish with these?

[@kappster1]

Oh, #7.

[@dblake5364]

was the lake u were fishing a clear. lake ?

[@TomBoley]

Yes

[@brianboudreau6083]

Holy shit this is. Great video.

[@montellwilliams811]

Thanks , great information for a ROOKIE like me 👍👌 👈

[@kappster1]

What size Jigging Rap are you using in 33-34 ft of water ?

[@TomBoley]

7 and 9

[@kappster1]

Went walleye fishing up the cove where the river comes into the reservoir and it was 52 Degrees and murky/dirty. Will the walleye actually try to spawn if the water is dirty ? Marked fish on my Lowrance but never had a bite. This pre-spawn/ spawn walleye fishing is very difficult.

[@kappster1]

I bet I've caught more 9 lbs walleye than you have skanky !!!!

[@robertosterday5368]

You make the best videos on KZbin but dude clean the screen on your Hummingbird!

[@TomBoley]

When you fish all day every day they just aren't going to stay clean

[@nofakenews9558]

Great vid , really helpful . I went to your web site and tried to leave my contact information , but for some reason your site would not except my email address .

[@montellwilliams811]

Say. Can I troll with this lure ?

[@leshawnmoore126]

Nice catch both with the pole an ur hands lol

[@glenndaugherity6187]

Is this mainly a clearer water presentation ?

[@TomBoley]

Slow down a bit in dirty water

[@reboot1017]

I use them at night in the river, and have caught some nice eyes. At certain times of the year they congregate below dams ,and when they do you can wear them out with this lure
