| I saw it on a show as well. I won some Mustad "Slow Death"' hooks, and have been wanting to try trolling for walleye with them. Same set up, but using the slow deat hook, which paired with a Berkley fry has crazy action. I just want to get out and give it a shot. Good luck. |

Thats why I picked up a bottom bouncer from Wal-Mart from Vicious. I used to be a Rapal guy, but I am fast really enjoying their products. Especially the firetiger crankbait. I bouce that off of cover, rocks, etc, and never get hung up. So I really can't wait to use the bottom bouncer paired with the slow death.
Maybe at one of the area walleye lakes. |

| Ive got a bunch of the Slow hooks. Maybe we could meet up and give it shot. I've never fished with anyone from the site. And for undisclosed reasons (although potentially a great one) I dint think my wife will be joining me much if at all this summer. |

| I have been using slow death technique since they cam out a few years ago. Technique works great but you have to follow instructions. The speed is crucial. Three way in Batterson with minnow style lures is a very effective way for dredging channels ! |

I just found this technique interesting. So what type and weight of sinkers are you guys usually use?  |
