Tackle Tip:
I use the Shiner Jig from Northland Tackle for minnows. This jig has a long shank so I can thread the hook through the mouth of a minnow and out the side of the minnow for short strikes. It works like a stinger hook. Northland has changed the hook to a thinner diameter which is better for hook penetration. The old style hook was thick (bass type). Bass anglers can set the hook on fish with any hook diameter; walleye guys are weaker and need thin diameter hooks to get penetration. Thank you Northland
