Tip of the Day
> “Having light-wire trebles is handy wherever you’re dealing with a lot of snags, and especially when trolling industrial rivers like the Fox in Oshkosh.”
> Sprengel is a big fan of fish-attracting scents such as Gulp! Alive. He’ll experiment with different scents and even tip his crankbaits with scented soft-plastics.
Quote of the Day
I tend to incorporate bass-style presentations into walleye tactics whenever possible.
– Korey Sprengel again. He’s not the only one, but more walleye anglers should do it!
