A two-ounce bouncer is required when fishing 15 to 25 feet of water and a three-ounce bounce is called for when the water is 25 to 40 feet deep. A one-ounce bottom bouncer will fish effectively down to about 15 feet of water. The most common sizes of bottom bouncers are 1-, 2- and 3-ounce models. Taller bouncers like the Hammer Time Bottom Walker can be set with a little too much line out and still keep the spinner positioned up off the bottom. If too much line is played out when setting the bouncer, the rig will lay on its side and drag on the bottom instead of standing up, ticking the bottom every few feet and presenting the spinner just off the bottom. The biggest mistake made when fishing bottom bouncers is letting too much line out while setting the rig. The Hammer Time bouncer is a little taller than most bottom bouncers, making it more user-friendly. One of my favourites is the Hildebrandt Hammer Time Bottom Walker. Meanwhile, the trailing spinner is positioned just off the bottom where the blade rotates, the crawler wiggles and nearby walleye simply can't help themselves.īottom bouncer sinkers come in many variations. The rig is complete when baited with a live nightcrawler and lowered to the bottom using just enough "line out" that the bottom bouncer makes contact with the bottom every few feet as the boat slowly trolls along. The harness includes some colourful beads and a pair of No.
Most spinner rigs are tied on fluorocarbon line and come equipped with a Colorado or Indiana-style blade that spins on a clevis. The mainline is tied to the elbow formed between the long and short arms and a spinner rig ranging from 36 to 60 inches in length is attached to the snap swivel on the short arm.
On the long arm, lead weight is moulded into place and on the short arm, a snap swivel is added to accept the spinner rig. A trolling sinker designed to fish slowly and in contact with the bottom, a bottom bouncer consists of a length of wire bent into the shape of an upside-down "L". Getting a grip on fishing the bottom bouncer and spinner rig starts with an understanding of the bottom bouncer itself. (Photo credit: Mark Romanack) UNDERSTANDING BOTTOM BOUNCERS
BOTTOM BOUNCER RIG PROFESSIONAL
The common nightcrawler harness commonly called a "spinner rig” by professional anglers is one of the best ways to catch summer walleye all across Algoma Country.
