is 6 pound test good for walleye

[dfv87]

Depends on the application you are using: riggin, slip bobber, spinners, cranks etc but overall yes I use that for most applications.

[KyleM.]

I use 6lb for almost all walleye fishing, when trolling with cranks I up to 8lb. (make sure you have a good quality rod and reel with smooth drag for quality fish, not much horsing allowed with bigger fish)

[Jim Almquist]

6lb test is all I use for rigging and jigging. If I pull plugs I like to go up to 8Lb test. Just make sure you check your drag before you catch your first fish

[paceman]

Yes 6Lb is awesome for eyes....

I'm in as well for the 6# line and actually will use 4# in many cases where I don't fear the pike will bust me off. I do use 8# when slip bobbering though due to the abrasion of the bobber sliding up and down the line and the rocky areas I tend to fish. I like 8# for trolling or switch to a power pro type line or similar line depnding on the lake and the area I plan to fish.

what kind do u prefer?

[Jim Almquist]

I really don't have one favorite but use 3 different brands. I like Stren Magnathin because of its smaller diameter but it really has a problem with memory so I like to use it for leader material. I like Gamma because it has very little memory but it is a little larger in diameter. Trilene XL is a good all around line but it also has a memory but the price makes it a great buy. My first choice is to use the green colored line of any brand. As far as toughness and abrasion they all seem about the same.

6 is my first choice but as stated before 8 is nice for trolling. As for brands, I have switched between three for a while: vanish florocarbon, sufix, and berkley sensation.

It's hard to go wrong with Trilene XL, this stuff has been around forever. I have started using some Suffix line this year and have been happy with that as well. If you are going to use lighter line pay attention to the knots and make sure that the line in the knot is laying correct of you could have some issues with the knots cutting themselves.

[wacky4waldos]

6 lb. all the way for riggin and jiggin. I used to be a Maxima Ultragreen guy, but switched to Suffix a couple years ago and absolutely love it. Comes off a spinning reel like silk, little or no memory, and seems very abrasion resistant. I use the hi-vis yellow and it doesn't seem to bother the fish at all.

[tacklejunkie]

Jigging I use 6 or 8 lb Fireline.

For trolling spinners, I go to 10lb Trilene XT or XL

[Red Cabin]

I like 8# power pro with a 6# vanish leader.

[harvey lee]

6# braid for my jigging and 8# mono for my cranks.

[DarthBaiter]

Is the green braided line good for walleye?

[Morneau132]

Definitely give 8 lb Power Pro a try in Moss Green color

[gurkster]

Hmmm, seems I am the odd man out here. I use 10# Fireline Crystal. It is strong, thin, no memory.... I tie direct to cranks and jigs, put in a swivel between lindy rigs and spinners (I mainly use the store bought ones, so whatever their leader material is is what I use). I usually have some type of leader on for slip bobbering. I may also tie on a leader for jigging if I am not getting bit.

Seems to work for me - anyone have a reason not to do it this way and use 6# - 8# mono instead??

[pureinsanity]

I use 20lb Power Pro for eyes on the river, I also will throw it in the local lakes too and have no problem catching eyes.
