JLSleather Report post Posted June 25, 2017 I like a rawhide mallet. But there is something to be said for a tool you are comfortable with. The 'answer' is the same as for that other question - "what is the best lure for walleyes?" It's the one you will use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jphillipw Report post Posted June 26, 2017 I have a Stohlman mallet I picked up for a song on Craigslist, and I absolutely love it. I have never tried a maul, however. It looks like it would be easier to bevel edges with a maul, since your strikes don't have to be dead on like they do with a mallet. I'm not an experienced tooler, though, so I'm not very fast at beveling anyway. I think a maul is probably faster, but you probably need to be pretty experienced to go that fast.
