randyaf Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I would like to make a couple of walleye cranks to run in 5 to 15 feet of river water. If anyone here walleye fishes, what crankbait would you recommend that I copy. I would like to stay at 3.5 inches to no less than 2.5 inches. And also would you recommend cedar or not. Any help would be appreciated. I've done alot of looking at commercial lures but $6.00 to $8.00 each would be costly experimenting. Thanks Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yake Bait Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 How about something like this? http://www.tackleunderground.com/photos/index.php?n=545 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyaf Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 That looks great .I would think that would work just fine. I would probably have to downsize it. How deep does it run. Also would it troll ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yake Bait Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 To be honest I was more kidding than serious because I think you wanted a lure to catch walleye, not one that looks like a walleye. If you are interested, check out the link to the lure below. It is a 7" twitch bait made with cedar. I don't troll with it but suspect it would run 6 to 10' depending on how much line you have out. Lip design could be modified to achieve more or less depth. I generally throw bigger lures for musky, but have often caught incidental walleye catches on big baits, especially when night fishing. http://www.tackleunderground.com/photos/index.php?n=1399 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
