Dead sticking walleyes will often be highly effective, especially when the bite gets tough. There will often be numerous fish that will come off the set lines. This is a tactic that has been around for a long time and that has definitely been tried and tested thoroughly. If it didn’t work, people wouldn’t still be using it after all this time.
Sometimes, it is easier to just go back to basics and use dead sticks when the fish are not aggressive or active enough to bite lures. So, if you are struggling to get a bite, this could be an effective method for you to use.
