Bottom Bouncer Walleye Setup: Jason Mitchell’s perfect bottom bouncer rod and reel preference for catching walleye this summer. Bottom bouncers and either plain snells or spinners catch so many walleyes for us through the summer. We go over the preferred rod action and why we choose this specific rod action when using bottom bouncers. An ideal rod action is a seven foot medium extra fast action that has enough power to hook fish in the rod holder and power out of snags. Too soft or moderate of a rod will often snag up more. We also show why we prefer a low profile bait casting reel and why a line counter is useful with bottom bouncers. Our ideal bottom bouncer reel has a flipping switch for adjusting depth with one hand and also a right and left handed option for holding two rods.

Northland Fishing Tackle® – EST. 1975
In 1975, a young Northwoods fishing guide named John Peterson started pouring jigs and tying tackle for his guiding clients in a small remote cabin in northern Minnesota. The lures were innovative, made with high-quality components, and most importantly were catching fish when no other baits were working! The word spread like wildfire, the phone started ringing for Team Northland®… and the Northland Fishing Tackle® brand was in hot demand!
