Gear Recommendations (affiliate links):
VMC Mooneye Jig: Patrick’s primary jig choice for pre-spawn walleye. The oversized eyes are noted for added attraction, and heavier weights are recommended when fish are holding deeper or when maintaining bottom contact is critical.
Walleye Assassin Paddle Tails: Used for their larger, meatier profile during pre-spawn when walleye are feeding more heavily.Color mentioned: Chicken on a Chain.
Berkley Ripple Shad:Mentioned as a smaller-profile alternative for situations where a more subtle presentation is needed.
Berkley PowerBait Rib Worms:A slower presentation option when the bite is tougher. Worked along the bottom on a jig head.Color mentioned: Firecracker Chartreuse.Can be tipped with a piece of nightcrawler if desired.
Berkley Power Minnows:Used for a slightly faster, twitch-style presentation.Size mentioned: 3-inchColor mentioned: Pink
