Rigging for Walleyes
Rigging, or Lindy rigging, is one of the most popular walleye fishing techniques used by Minnesota fishing guides. Named after the Linder brothers that made this Brainerd walleye fishing technique famous, the Lindy Rig is a live bait technique that combines a sliding sinker, swivel, and snelled hook into a deadly walleye fishing combination. The thing that makes "rigging" so effective is the rig's ability to tempt neutral fish into biting. Although it's one of the most commonly used walleye fishing techniques in the Brainerd Lakes area, rigging is also one of the most commonly "misused" techniques as well.

Jigging for Walleyes
Few walleye fishing techniques can match the versatility of the walleye jig. Whether it's crawled, dragged, swum, or suspended; there are few walleye baits that can be fished in as many different ways as the jig. Our Minnesota walleye fishing guides have spent a lifetime learning exactly what it takes to consistently put walleyes in their boats; and the jig definitely has its place and time.  When properly fished, the walleye jig is a remarkable tool. Spring, summer, winter, and fall; the walleye jig definitely has a place in every walleye fisherman's tackle box.

Walleye Fishing Techniques

I like to use several techniques when fishing for walleyes in the Brainerd Lakes area. These include Lindy rigging, jigging, and trolling. While many of these techniques has their own special place and time throughout the season, my favorite walleye fishing technique is the Lindy rig. I can't think of any other method of fishing that has accounted for more walleyes in my boat. I would conservatively guess that I Lindy rig almost 80% of the time when I'm fishing with customers.  Scroll to the bottom of the page to learn more about Lindy rigging and other live bait techniques used by our Minnesota fishing guides.
