Glow in the dark jig with a propeler and a live minnow. That's also my favorite for during the day, except at night I charge it with a headlamp. I don't overdo the jigging, either, usually just deadstick it 6inches off bottom, and try jigging if that doesn't work. Weeds, breaks, and stay shallow this time of year to find the ones that are really feeding.

The only way to fish Walleyes, day or night is a plain long shank hook and a leech.
I have found glow jigs do not increase bite after hours, but everyone has different luck with different lures.
Walleyes are night feeders and the rumor is they can't see the lighted jigs anyway, but many other fish can and it may spook the Walleyes from the area.
If you know a good day spot, go there and get a few rods ready for the different depths during light hours so you aren't fumbling in the dark to set depth, then head out.

I have to admit, I'm not much of a "trolling for fish" kinda guy, (except for offshore saltwater fishing!). I really LOVE the feel of a strike, the casting to "cover", ETC. Trolling bores me.
With that said, I have to admit, when night-fishing for Wally's I troll!
Trolling grass-lines and depth changes in shallow water works great for me. And if there is a creek flowing into a lake I def troll that transition.
Mostly I troll Yozuri's & Rapala's,(I make sure to spray my lures occasionally with Walleye attractant!). Sometimes, (if I want to "catch" not "fish" lol) , I'll troll a spinner with a large Leech.
If I find a concentration of fish on a shoreline, I will "slow down" and jig with a minnow or Leech/cast a Yozuri. Walleye's love vibration at night! So, when buying "night-fishing lures" think "wide-wobble" cranks with a "slim" design!
It works for me.
Good luck & catch some fish!
