A true walleye slayer, the high action Barbless Willy is your ideal lure for working points and reefs in Quetico Park. The fish have all seen Rapalas, You can also troll this wobbling spoon-plug for excellent results! You simply must have a few Barbless Willy lures in you tackle box not only for fishing, but so you can whip out your Willy anywhere and not get in a whole lot of trouble for it!

Use 100's for walleyes, bass, northerns. 200 for canoe trolling for lakers. 250/350's for casting for lakers/big northerns and trolling behing the canoe. Note: 200 and 250/300 have adjustable front snaps for changing the dive depth and lure water resistance. Move snap to the the forward two hole to make it run shallower and faster to accommodate canoe trolling. Don't paddle at the speed of light - you ARE trolling afterall.

Fishing Tip #1 : Cast these beauties from the canoe or shore. Work them alongside weedbeds and deep water for walleyes. Also, troll slowly along rocky shores. Head for deep water, cast and let sink before you retrieve slowly. Brace for laker attack. Plug shore lines and reefs for Smallmouth Bass.

Fishing Tip #2: When you are using barbless hooks and not an agressive "hooksetter" you have an advantage. Barbless hooks link in deeper without the need for a strong hookset because there's no barb to driving in to a fishes jaw. When you get a hit, keep the line tight and your drag set properly.

Barbless Advantage: When you accidentally drive this hook into your knee, you can pull it out easily 99% of the time by yourself. No more torn up jeans and far less permanent and not- really-wanted, jewelry!
