The BEST Walleye Plastic? - Straight Tail vs. Paddle Tail

[@jakeowens1770]

This is the kind of scientific method I can back. Thanks TJ!

[@tjsguideservice]

😂 love it! Facts only!

[@jakeowens1770]

@@tjsguideservice the walleye cup is yours alone for good reason. You ask the right questions and find your own answers

[@troyhoernemann3775]

Grate video it makes me wonder about different color with same bait comparison . Nice net by the way

[@tjsguideservice]

That would be another fun one! Thank you! Little shorter handle and smaller loop than I like but it’s super light!

[@adhall777]

Great idea for a video. Informative and entertaining!

[@tjsguideservice]

Appreciate that! Something I was genuinely curious about so figured I better try! 😂

[@evanmalison4489]

J Money!! You bet! Appreciate you brother

[@CatchinColes]

I see you adjusting your trolling motor while retrieving. Is your livescope transducer on your trolling motor? Do you have one on a pole too, or do you find the trolling motor the best place to mount?

[@tjsguideservice]

I have done both, now that I’m done guiding, I love having it on my tripling motor for chasing big, single fish!

[@joseencarnacion9271]

Both of them works for me all the time . For wallaye at least

[@tjsguideservice]

You bet! Glad to hear it!

[@timross7046]

Your screen is so clear . What color are you on and other settings ?

[@tjsguideservice]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4jIZahnhM2ijKcsi=k9Cmlj7DzzVAAkCY This should help! On the blue color palette

[@timross7046]

Thanks , at 74 it's hard to fish with my nose pressed up agInst the screen 😩

Do you use scent on your soft plastics? Northland recommends soaking the eye candy plastics in their trays but I wonder if it really makes any difference...

[@tjsguideservice]

I have heard that it can help, but I have not tried it! Honestly one of the next things I want to try

[@FishingNorthernOntarioCanada]

what type of main line ? Jbraid ? I think i prefer a split tail more ways to work it and easier to slow it down

[@tjsguideservice]

I use j braid most often! Probably my favorite braid for castability!

[@colehoppe6973]

How do you get ur eye candy to stay rigged correctly its so soft its hard to rig

[@tjsguideservice]

It’s hard to explain without showing, but I pinch the plates and pull down to get it over the keeper on the jig! Takes a few tries but it’s worth it once they are on and you put a dab of super glue, you want have to replace it!

[@erics667]

I can't catch sh*t with plastics, lol. So neither for me :) My go to nearly all season has been snap-jigging. Killer.

[@tjsguideservice]

Some days I can, some days I can’t! Snap jigging is an awesome way to trigger fish to bite!

[@JMonOutdoors]

How heavy jig head do you use? Great video… I have been buying and using almost everything you, Nick, and Brett use 😂. But not as successful. Keep up the good work 👍🏼

[@tjsguideservice]

I use 1/2oz. Seems to be perfect speed to trigger those fish and drop quickly! I will say that I have had better luck locally with the straight tail, but better luck on bigger more prominent lakes with the paddle tail!

[@JMonOutdoors]

@@tjsguideservice thanks for the advice, much appreciated. I only have 1/4 and 1/8 oz sizes so far. Might have to get some 1/2 oz ones then! Thanks! PS.. I remember you saying in a video that you’re a teacher… I am also a teacher in the Pierz School District.

[@tjsguideservice]

@@JMonOutdoors you bet! That’s awesome! Never enough good teachers

[@JMonOutdoors]

@@tjsguideservice that’s a fact! It can be a battle sometimes in today’s world… but we have a great community and students overall… which you know, makes a big difference!
