Poles/Line


WalleyeSlayer21

Recommended Posts

On my main pole i have 4lb.Berkley Micro ice line and on another pole i have i think 2lb.Fireline crystal, and other pole i have i believe its ither 6 or 8 lb line. My main pole is the 4 lb. line that I use the most, we fish for mostly Walleye and Crappie, and Northern. Sometimes sunfish. With me fishing walleye and crappie the most and using Northland UV Buckshot spoons/ Northland forage Minnow spoons, if am using my main pole (4lb. line) is this right? i think it is because you dont want to big or too small of line. Anywhere from 2-3lb. for sunfish/perch and 4-6lb for walleye/crappie? I dont know... Whats your opionion on what line to use for Sunnies/perch and crappie/walleye?

For our walleye rods or you could say our spoon rods like the buckshot minnows as you said we use either 8 lb fire line or suffix 832 ice braid both work great. We always run a leader of 6 lb mono or floro with a two way swivel. But for the pannies we typically use 2 sometimes 3 lb Trilene micro ice.

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
