Northland® Fishing Tackle Pitchin’ Puppet takes an aggressive stance against binging walleyes.
BEMIDJI, Minn. (September 11, 2024) – It’s an eatery out there. Any angler worth a salt knows that walleyes kick it in a higher gear come autumn. For one, water temperatures sink into their preferred range, from 70-ish degrees down to the mid 50’s, which translates into increased activity. To that, there’s the age-old belief that walleyes “fatten-up” for the looming winter months. Fact or fiction, what’s proven autumn after autumn is that fall walleyes aren’t bashful about striking bigger and sometimes faster moving fare.
The good news is that Northland Fishing Tackle makes that lure and dubs it the Pitchin’ Puppet.
The Pitchin’ Puppet features a lead frame with an over-molded resin exterior and fin, giving it a lifelike translucent baitfish appearance with exceptional durability. When jigged, snapped, or ripped, the Pitchin’ Puppet darts and rolls to trigger strikes. A wide-gap rear hook – and absence of a front nose hook – make this lure perfect for darting across the bottom, and the split-ring connected treble hook keeps fish pinned all the way back to the boat.
