tacklejunkie Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 is there any problem with using braided line on my fast action trolling rods for walleye?? I am worried that they're might not be enough shock absorbing with the fast action and no stretch braid. Walleye lips don't provide enough of a meal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Breuer Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 If you have to use a fast action rod for cranks, then I'd go with mono. You'll get more stretch to make up for the speed of the rod. Moderate action rods are going to treat you much better with either line... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borch Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Slow to moderate wins out with braid. Too many fish come unbuttoned with braid and fast action rods. Like Matt said you'd be better off with mono on that setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
