Rated 5 out of 5Â by ODMartin Walleye and Smallmouth Fishing
I originally purchased the Northland Gum-Drop Floater Jig for a trip to northwest Ontario in 2008. I used the floating jig in conjunction with a bottom-bouncing weight system and they outperformed the standard Lindy rig setups while at the lake. I've also used these for live bait presentations and Berkley Gulp Alive presentations (without weight) on the Potomac River outside of DC, they performed well on the river's smallmouth.
I highly recommend the product.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by WalleyeWhitetailpro Great for all fish
I have used these floating jig heads for many different kinds of fish. They work well for walleye fishing in the river which a fake or real worm hooked on. Also, trout, and salmon in rivers with spawn sacks. They are pretty durable, and I am glad that I used them. They can be used for blue gill to. If you are having trouble getting fish to bite on the surface, I usually try to put on a small split shot that makes it sink just a bit to get it closer to the fish. Most success using live bait, but either way have had good outcomes.

Used these for trout and had very good success, rig them with wax worm and a split shot 12" above and trout and even bass will be hitting and pay attention to your line.

Where I catch walleye, you have to be able to cast a certain distance. I understand that the live bait will serve as extra weight, but I needed to know if I can buy this knowing the weight before I buy it.

This is just a floating jig, does not have weight to cast, as you said, the live baitwould ad to your cast distance, if you wanted more weight, you could ad small sinkers,

I'm a very inexperienced angler to begin with.In late May I'm going with some buddies to a cottage on Sturgeon Lake, near Lindsay, Ontario.
We'll be doing some Walleye fishing. I was thinking I could use these floating jigs, with a floating worm, and have a sliding weight between two stoppers to keep this bait 16" - 24" from the bottom of the lake.
Is that something that might work?

Yes this sounds like you should be pretty successful using this technique. Don't be afraid to use live night crawlers. Also, don't be afraid to change you tactics. Sometimes walleye won't hit the floating jig, but will hit a sinking jig or a crankbait. Use trial and error to see what is working.Images for this Answer
