I used them with bottom bouncers and had pretty good success. As long as your bottom bouncer is on bottom, the slow-death should be in the right range for most walleye. You don't have enough line out unless you are feeling the 'tick tick tick' of bottom with the bottom bouncer. Or, you're going too fast and you need to slow it down to let the bouncer get down a bit deeper.

slow death is a great tactic to add to the walleye arsenal.

i run them on a bottom bouncer, and usually a little slower then you would normaly bottom bounce with a worm harness

There is a specific set up with them Chevy. You need to put the worm on a certain way for it to work right. Sheldon will be able to tell you the proper way for it to be on the hook. Not just as simple as throwing the worm on the hook for it to work.

Hey Chevy, did you purchase the hooks or get them as a sample?
I was looking for some today at Le Barons...they had none.
I am heading out next weekend and was hoping to find some locally before I head out.

Try many of our sponsors on here like Baitcasters, Bit's & Baits, Ozilles, Manotick etc. Most of them carry these hooks I would think. Baitcasters did as of a few days ago.

Hey guys, keep in mind that they work better if you're going less than 1 mph. Also I add a bead at times, just to add some color.
