PXR Jowler™ 127 Pulls Huge Smallies on Rainy Lake

There may just be no environment more serene or perfect than a vast lake moments after rain. The sun starts to peak through the clouds as they mosey away, the water stills almost to a halt, and there’s no sound to be heard but the distant gentle flap of an eagle’s wing or fresh water against the shore.

But it's kind of like looking at the icing on a meticulously decorated cake. Doesn’t a part of you just want to start a food fight?

That’s exactly how Roger Cormier and Scott Walsh feel. In a new video by Midwest Outdoors, the pals walk some topwater baits across Rainy Lake in Voyageurs National Park – a freshwater park that sits between Minnesota and Canada – to entice some smallies and even catch some walleye along the way.

On the front lines is the new PXR Jowler™ 127 mm. This walking bait has a unique, concave lip that ignites maximum surface disturbance. Within minutes, a massive walleye hits the bait. From there, the biggest smallies you’ve ever seen start banging on the Jowler like nobody’s business.

“They are just absolutely on fire right now,” said Cormier in the video. “I get ‘em every couple of casts. It’s fun when you see ‘em blast the top water like that.”

As the late afternoon wind picks up, the guys switch to a VMC® Moon Eye Ned Rig with a CrushCity™ The Mayor® swimbait. “The bass are biting like crazy, man,” said Cormier in the video. “Only took him a couple of swings.”

“Fun day on Rainy Lake, huh?” said Walsh. “Unbelievable,” agreed Cormier.
