Hey Teroy, just another observation about jig knots. I use the double trilene knot and cinch it down real tight. The position of the line tie makes a BIG difference when dragging jigs for Walleye. If the knot is straight up and the jig is hanging horizontal, it tips the tail up as you drag it. When you feel a little tention from a rock or whatever, you can hold it there for a second with the tail sticking straight up, then jump it over the snag. If the line tie is parallel with the hook it just lays down on its side instead of rolling up. Then snags. Lots of fish are caught while the jig is sitting there with just the tail fluttering straight up. Mkes it easy for the fish to pick it off bottom. Feel the "tick" and nail him.
As for the blade bait issue. I like them alot. You can feel them vibrating and callin in fish. I have sonar and cicada blades. Only certain times they work, but when they work, they are fun to use. I hooked a huge fish at Deer Creek one time on a black cicada. Saw him on the finder suspended in 55' of water and dropped down. Didn't get it to the boat. Bet it was a big Brown Trout.
They work great at first ice on Utah Lake for whites, LMB,Walleye and Crappie. The pink ones are really good.
