Depends on the day. White tube jig. Flutter spoon and minnow head. Lipless crank. Or sometimes just a thumper jig and a minnow.

Caught many walleyes on jigging raps but have lost just as many if not more on them. Rippin raps if there feeding aggressively. Flyer spoons have worked good to. But I have never had anything out fish a jig and minnow, usually pink.

Any noisy lipless rattle bait in all sizes, firetiger and silver/gold colours work very well, slender spoons and northland buckshot flutter spoons, and rapala jiggin' raps are standard in any ice fishing tackle box,also couldn't agree more with a minnow on a jighead, works for picky pike as well.

Buckshot rattle spoons, jigging raps, deadly dicks, white tubes, slender spoons, and buzz bombs all work pretty good for me.

This totally depends on the lake you are fishing on. All are very different.
You gotta figure out walleye....
Jig n minnow gets my vote, but isn't that what everyone uses?

Yep, this works well, I also add a stinger hook most days too, seems to add to the catch

Gold or Silver Kastmaster jigged off the bottom and held still for periods.

For bait, try a Wetaskiwin Wizard in either White or Chartreause, with a minnow on one side, between the two hooks, horizontally. Just lift, and watch it slowly flutter to the bottom, then hold it on off the bottom for a while.

Totally depends on day and weather... but usually start off with a Mean Eye Jig with Northland Stinger and a minnow

x2 I ussually like green, white or blue.

I like the action of Shiver Minnows but so do the pike and at 10.00 bucks a lure. With a flurocarbon leader I get a little gun shy after loosing one or two

Red jig head with a black twister tail jig. Summer or winter this seems to work for me.

I usually have a yellow jig head and a minnow on the Windlass Tip-up, and a 1/4 oz Len Thompson tipped with a small chunk of minnow on the jigging stick.

Other lures that get honorable mention are the Williams Wabler, Mepps Cyclops, and Do Jigger, they fall slower than a Len Thompson and some days that seems to be the ticket. For me a baited spoon is my top producer on most days, and other than the Do-jigger I have better luck with casting spoons than jigging spoons, I think because of the slower fall and more intense flutter.

Default My newest favourite lure.

Jigging shad rap pink and glow UV. Put a minnow head on the bottom hook plus a short stinger hook off the bottom hook also. Nothing on the stinger hook unless there is perch around.
The light biters tend to still suck in the stinger and you do not miss many.
Been slaying the walleye the last two winters Gull and pigeon.
There the secret is out. Ha Ha.

My best walleye set up is my 15 year old son and I sitting in our tent, lines in the water and chatting away.
