The Cisco Walleye Jig from High Caliber Lures is built around one of the most important forage fish in Canadian lakes — the cisco, also known as the tullibee or lake herring. In the lakes where cisco are present, walleye, pike, and lake trout grow to exceptional sizes because they have access to a high-calorie, abundant prey. Match that forage with the Cisco jig and you're fishing with confidence that you're presenting exactly what predators are looking for.

HCL's Cisco pattern uses a natural silver-blue-white colour scheme that accurately replicates the distinctive colouring of a cisco baitfish — the reflective sides, the dark dorsal shade, and the light belly that cigars through the water column. Combine that visual authenticity with HCL's signature 3D eyes, glow capability, and sharp Eagle Claw hook, and you have a complete presentation that checks every box.

Why Cisco Matters

Cisco are pelagic baitfish — they school in open water, often in the thermocline, and walleye, pike, and lake trout track them actively. During cisco spawning periods in fall, predator fish gorge on these baitfish and the fishing can be extraordinary. A jig that accurately imitates a cisco gives you access to that feeding behavior on a consistent basis, not just during peak periods.

Where It Shines

Any lake with a cisco population — which includes most major Canadian walleye fisheries. Fall is especially productive when cisco are spawning. Early ice is another exceptional window, when walleye are gorging on cisco near thermocline depth. Fish it vertically in open water or drop it through the ice and let the glow do the work.
