3 Way Rig For Walleye (fish deep water with ease)
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.

Very good video. One little comment here: wet your line just before you tighten the knot.
Wet the knots on fluorocarbon and mono to prevent the line from burning and creating weak points upon cinching the knot down.
You are aware that most anglers would categorize those baits as “jerk baits” right?
Great idea and excellent video. Thanks
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.
wont the sinker wrap around the line?
Thank you
I will be attempting this on the st Clair river but with 2lb weights, thanks for sharing

That’s an old school Rapala right there. You must have dug to the bottom of your dads box!
Good job but: could you use clinch knots all around instead of units and would a bottom bouncer work?
What weight line is your main and the sinker line should be less to save lure.
How deep would you fish the set-up that you show us and how much line do you let out when you troll?
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 !!!
Can I use this same set up for bigger poppers to get distance?
Can you cast this rig?
Great demonstration
