For walleye jigging, the strongest matches here are the fast-sinking lipless baits that can be worked vertically or yo-yoed near bottom, especially High Caliber Lures Shockwave Nitro Rattle Bait Red Lightning 2.5” & 3/8 oz and High Caliber Lures Shockwave Nitro Purple Wonderbomb 2.5” & 3/8 oz. They’re built for getting down quickly and triggering reaction strikes.
High Caliber Lures Shockwave Nitro Blue Wonderbomb 2.5” & 3/8 oz is another good deep-water option when fish are holding on rocky or sandy bottom. High Caliber Lures Shockwave Nitro “The Works 1” 2.5” & 3/8 oz adds a multi-color pack if you want options for changing light and water clarity.
If you want a more classic walleye jigging-style lure, Pro King Spoons Walleye Spoons are a solid flash-and-fall option for aggressive fish.
Switch to a spoon when walleyes want more flash and a simpler vertical presentation. Switch away from these reaction baits if fish are neutral or finicky; then a softer jig-and-minnow style presentation is usually better than a loud rattle bait.
