But don't get stuck in a slow pattern. Rip the jig back to the boat on one retrieve, then work the jig slow, bouncing it along the bottom on the next retrieve. I prefer the Fuzzy Grub because it is round and I can easily attach a stinger hook to the minnow and up my chances of catching a finicky walleye. When in doubt if you have contact with the bottom, increase the size of your jig and minnow. You might get hung up more, but you might also have a wallhanger on your hands.
Equipment becomes essential when fishing mud lines, especially line.
I like to use the new Vanish line. The reason I use Vanish is it is completely invisible in both muddy and clear water making it difficult for the fish to detect. This may seem like it would make line watching hard out of the water but the contrast in the air is clear even on over cast and bright sunny days. The critical aspect is the fish can't see the line in the mud line at all and all of a sudden a bait appears before them. You will be positioned outside of the mud line and it will be crucial to have a rod that can detect and react at a moments notice.
