My findings are the same as what the others have said. The motion imparted by jigging attracts the walleye and they will not hesitate to strike the deadstick. When i'm out with my kids I surround myself with jawjackers and jig in the middle of them. If the walleye are sensitive to motion they will likely hit the jawjacker but if they are up for a chase they will bypass and go for the bait with action.
I was thinking of using an arduino to power a servo/motor, but in my theoretical design the clip is unnecessary. Use your existing arm to move the line below the jawjacker trigger. As the arm extends it would push the line which would raise it and as the arm retreats it would lower the line again. Additionally, use the motor to raise and lower the entire jawjacker unit, the line freezing up then becomes your biggest issue.
