Use a medium/light or ultralight rod. Short (6-9") quick rips on the bottom. Just enough to feel the rapid vibration. 6-8lb braid line (no mono) to a 6-8lb floro leader tied together with a double uni-knot. Connect the cross-lok snap to the back towing hole of the Echotail to get the most vibration on the short jig snaps. We have been tipping the Echotails off with Jr's Jig Tails (Ice Series) & Panfish Popsicles (Seen in Picture). Jr's (1/4 oz) have also been producing fish with this same technique. The Jr Echotail also has a nice slower spiraling fall. Keep moving around and lock over schools of fish when your graph is lit up. "Jig-it-up" for a while and keeping moving around!

ReplyDeleteAlso, another important tip!.... Pay close attention to the line as the Echotail is falling on a loose line after the upward snap. The line will actually be visible allowing to see the slow fall rate of the mini (1/10 oz). The more line that is out (deeper) the slower the fall due to the braided line sagging with water causing drag. Paying attention to the line will also increase hooking percentages as the line will actually jump when attacked by Mr Walter Walleye giving warning to SET THE HOOK!
