- How to tie a 3 way rig for walleye. This is a super effective rig for trolling deep water for walleye.
If you want to troll baits down deep, then this is the rig for you. The 3 way rig allows you to fish shallow diving baits down deep near the bottom where big walleye hang out.
To tie this walleye rig, all you need is some fluorocarbon leader material, a 3 way swivel, and a floating crankbait.
Make sure to only use a floating style crankbait with a small bill. The idea is to keep the bait suspended off the bottom.
Start by tying a loop in a section of leader material. I usually do this by tying a figure 8 knot. This loop is used to attach your weight to help get the bait down deep.
Make this dropper section about a foot long, and attach the free end to the 3 way swivel.
Next, attach a 3-5' section of leader to another eye on the 3 way swivel, and the opposite end of leader gets attached to your bait.
At this point, just attach the last eye on the 3-way swivel to your mainline, and you are ready to get after those deep water walleye.

A very good technique, I use it often and with good results.
A hug.
Excellent video. East to follow and clear instructions. Keep up the good work
Great demonstration
Great idea and excellent video. Thanks

Very good video. One little comment here: wet your line just before you tighten the knot.
One tip with this rig is use lighter line for your sinker. If you get snagged you can break the sinker off without risk of losing your lure.
Agreed I always use 6lb test mono with a 15lb braid mainline
@@misterbulger I've tried braid a few times and I use it in some instances but I still prefer mono for everything else. I don't like braid on spinning reels. If you get a tangle you can lose half your spool and it's a nightmare to fix.
Wet the knots on fluorocarbon and mono to prevent the line from burning and creating weak points upon cinching the knot down.
Tha bet you leave that only comment on every knot tieing video you watch.
What weight line is your main and the sinker line should be less to save lure.
This is a good rigging idea to get depth. I use a somewhat similar setup except I use two stick baits, a deep diving stick bait and a shallow floating stick bait. The deep diving stick bait drags the shallow running stick bait down. Usually it gets the depth necessary because when the walleye are suspended at 30 to 40 feet they are sticking upwards. If my graph is telling me that they are deeper down i can use line clips and weights to get the necessary depth. However, the two stick bait system usually gets me to the desired depth.
I’m guessing that counts as two lines in Wisconsin
@@tribalkilly8660 That is an interesting thought, I never thought of it that way. I fish Lake Ontario on the Canadian side. I have never been stopped by the DNR but it might be a good idea for me to ask them. Thanks for the suggestion. Ironically, the majority of my hook ups are on the the higher floating stick bait. It has also produced several large Muskie which are found here in the St. Lawrence River / Lake Ontario east end. Thanks have a great day.
@@G8AR I know if you add a slider to a downrigger it’s considered 2 lines! But I like the idea I’m not sure the legality of it tho here but I’m going to look into it.
EXCELLENT KNOT DEMOS, I would not Recomend a " Appears to be a Norman Speed clip" I would
only use a small wide bend loop snap, also Greatly recommended a " Thundermist 3 way swivel" , for no tangle issues; more expensive but worth every penny. Great weight change idea.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? RAPALA KNOT AND POLA MAR KNOTS WAY BETTER FOR A 3 WAY RAPALA LURE APPLICATION..
I will be attempting this on the st Clair river but with 2lb weights, thanks for sharing
I hear old brake rotors and drums work well too.
You don't need 2 pounds unless you are way out in current or by the bridge. Towards st Clair or even the mouth of black river you can get away with lighter weight.
And if you chose that make sure you have about 40 pound main line and about a 20 or 30 pound sinker line so when you do snag up. Because you will you only lose your sinker. I use 8-17 pound fluorocarbon leaders down there by the bridge and trolling spoons. Good luck. If you get towards south Park more and even by the mouth of black river at the waste water treatment plant make sure your ready to defend yourself. Some of them guys are rough down there and think they own the joint.
@@ML-ks2lj I was under the bridge, I had some luck with some walleye. Once I lost my third 2lb weight I never fished like that again though. Lol I picked up a centerpin and got into steelhead fishing and been extremely hooked ever since.
Good job but: could you use clinch knots all around instead of units and would a bottom bouncer work?
Yes, you could and yes a bouncer would work too.
How fast do you recommend moving with this setup ?
Just use a bottom bouncer. It is way easier and you will have fewer tangles.
Exactly!
What kind of leader length?
Can I use this same set up for bigger poppers to get distance?
Poppers are surface lures. This rig is to bring your lures close to the bottom. And it's ill-advised to cast with that...
How deep would you fish the set-up that you show us and how much line do you let out when you troll?
2 or 3 ft max from weight to swivel , maybe 4 ft long from lure to swivel
The faster you troll the less your rig will sink. Keep that in mind. You will "feel" your weight hitting the bottom so use that as an indication. "Speed" is a combination of your boat speed and the current if any.
That’s an old school Rapala right there. You must have dug to the bottom of your dads box!
To be honest, I believe I found that gem stuck in a tree!
I've got a bunch of 7's and 9's in "natural" perch in both floater and sinking from 1978 that have never been tied on.
I know this is really really late !! But I take a chance for answer lol . I live on Ky. Lake/ Tn. River and I've been watching Walleye videos looking for different way to catch Sauger . My question to you sir is , Why can't I fish the Spinner Rig on a Three Way Rig ??? Not gonna hold my breath for answer but if I get lucky and get one , I want to thank you in advance !!!
At the end of the day, three way rigs are pretty versatile and used in many forms of fishing. You can put pretty much anything you want on the end as long as the action of the bait/lure is correct.
@@FishingExplained Wow you did answer !! Your a good guy and I thank ya .I was thinking the same just wanted to hear from someone in the know lol . I have a little more confidence now and you know that's always a plus .Thanks again and good safe fishing to ya this year !!
David, NO PROBLEM, You can use pretty much any light weight spoon, lure stick bait," Preferably a floating Rapala" NOTE: Let weight just tick bottom intermittently, so you know your holding at proper depth. zap a section of PVC pipe close to you, against boat bench, to keep close view , control reel , line depth. Its frustrating to lean over to regular rod holder, trying to make adjustments, and steer boat at same time.
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
wont the sinker wrap around the line?
No
Can you cast this rig?
You are aware that most anglers would categorize those baits as “jerk baits” right?
It's most definitely a floating Rapala original. Either way it's a stick bait with a bill, call it what you want.
NO WAY TO TIE A FLOATING RAPALA KILLS THE ACTION. TIE DIRECT WITH RAPALA KNOT!!!
get rid of the annoying music
Ok sir.
