Fall Lures
#1
Berkley Flicker Shad
Color: Silver · Size: 2.75 inch
Cast toward structure and rocky points; retrieve with steady, moderate pace to maintain the signature tight wobble. Work the bait through the thermocline where walleye suspend in fall.
Fall walleye at 60°F respond aggressively to minnow-profile crankbaits; the Flicker Shad's tight action and natural silver finish match shad forage in clear water with steady pressure.
#2
Northland Tackle Tungsten Jig with Berkley PowerBait Paddle Tail
Color: Natural Shad / Pearl · Size: 1/4 oz jig, 2.5 inch paddle tail
Vertical jigging and lift-drop presentations on structure; use the tungsten head to maintain bottom contact in the 10 mph wind. Work slowly given the 60°F water and clear conditions.
Walleye in fall prefer bottom-contact presentations on structure; tungsten jigs reach depth quickly and maintain feel in wind, while the paddle tail mimics natural shad movement in cool, clear water.
#3
Rapala Original Floater
Color: Silver · Size: #7
Cast to shallow structure and drop-offs; use sharp, deliberate jerks followed by pauses to trigger strikes. The suspending action is ideal for cool-water walleye that are less aggressive in fall.
Clear water and steady pressure favor the subtle, natural presentation of a suspending jerkbait; the #7 size matches fall forage and the pause triggers bites from walleye in the 55–65°F transition zone.
