Yeah, those deep runner 5-11' SR-7 Shad Raps would be out then unless you wanted to cut off the trebles and mount up a single. Honestly, jigs are your go to bait for walleyes and an orange spinner on a black lead head buzz bait with a black skirt would probably catch every northern in the lake. I tried one one year and the northerns just tore the thing up. Walleyes and yellow perch are the forage base up there for the northerns, so a big Johnson Silver Minnow (they have single hooks) would be good too.
Another thing we did when we were jigging strip bait was to slide a blood red Fuzzy Grub body up onto shank of the hook to help hide it and to prevent short bite offs. Walleyes won't bite through your line, but northerns sure will, so bring lots of baits because you'll lose some. I wouldn't have believed how fast a northern will "plink" your line when they take it deep.
