Bdnoble84 Posted Saturday at 01:00 AM Share Posted Saturday at 01:00 AM Anyone ever tryed this. Its a 3way swivel with a weight off one end and a line to a hook or lure on the other. Its very popular for walleye using live bait. Anyways, i tryed one with a bucktail fly and actually ran into a nice little smallie. Pretty cool. Its kinda like a drop shot in some ways but also different. As long as the fly has boyancy, it will stay off the bottom and dance in the current. You can fish it pretty much deadstick and it’ll look like a minnow holding in the current. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finessegenics Posted Saturday at 04:39 AM Share Posted Saturday at 04:39 AM Why not go straight dropshot? I imagine with your three way rig, the fly probably has a lot more action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3 way is traditionally a walleye drifting or trolling. Typically they will use live bait. Its a great way to cover water in rivers without getting snagged the way a lindy rig or bottom bouncer would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only seem to find massive gold ones, which I can't help but feel makes the fish potentially shy away from the rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always do two swivels. 1 stacked on the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
