Mack Attack Articles

This week's podcast breaks down early spring walleye fishing and why it's your best chance to get a 10-pounder in the boat or, even better, a state record. We take you up the Columbia River system and provide tips and tactics on how to target walleye this time of year.

The Smile Blade excels when trolled slowly, as they require hardly any speed to make the blade turn correctly. Since they're able to spin at speeds as slow as 1/4 mph without any loss in action and flash, it makes them a perfect early and late season option for waterbodies, such as the Missouri River reservoirs, as well as small sloughs or natural lakes.

The versatility of the Mack’s Lure Smile Blade makes it a critical part of every walleye angler’s arsenal. The Smile Blade 0.8, the smallest size Mack’s Lure offers, makes for a perfect added attractant for a live bait rig without stealing the show.

Bottom bouncers have become a staple of the walleye fishing industry. The reason they are so popular is because they are easy to run, versatile, and just downright catch fish. This setup is so simple, yet can have so many alterations and difference styles of fishing.
