To all who go out and target walleyes?

[Ely Lake Expert]

What lb test do you use and what brand?

I usually use 6 or 8 lb trilene.

[floating minnow]

6# Fireline

[fiskyknut]

Jig'n and rig'n anyhow I'm using the same as you. thru the ice too.

[Ely Lake Expert]

oh, and part 2 to the question is, do you use a stronger line or the same line when trolling rapalas?

[Fish Head]

I have been using 6# Pline Floroclear for several years. I tried Gama on one of my rods this year and I really like it. I'm not a fan of Trilene at all.

I usually use 10# mono when trolling rapalas or power pro with a fluorocarbon leader.

[fiskyknut]

I use XL in those techniques mentioned above. Early season shallow trolling I use 10# XT. Later summer deeper trolling it's 14# firleine for flatlines and Boards with snapweights, or 10#XT/leadcore segment tied onto main line of fireline.

#10lb. vanish trans. for almost everything

[PerchJerker]

Depends on how I'm fishing, could be mono from 6-10 lb, could be flourocarbon from 8 to 14 lb, could be any of a variety of superlines and test strengths.

There's been some discussion about this lately in the Walleye forum.

For my better reels, I have about 4 different spools rigged up with different lines. 6#, high vis for pitching light jigs and line watching, 4#, fl carbon, etc.

For trolling raps, I use a mono and a long fiberglass trolling rod. This way there is plenty of give and stretch to the line so hard strikes don't pull the hooks out.

Most applications 6lb trilene xl, deep water trolling fireline 14lb, leadcore 18lb with 8lb xl leader, long lining on MilleLacs 8lb xl, deep water jigging fireline, finesse bait rigging 4-6lb xl, snap weights 10-12lb xt.

20lb fireline

[Northlander]

10 or 12 # Trilene Xt has to be the best for trolling sticks/cranks or I will use 20# Power Pro on the big lake. For jigging I like 8# Power Pro or 8# XT. I have been using the new Gamma line and its also holding up to everything I use it for.

The Gamma is great spinner tieing line in the 12# test. Im impressed with its not strength and abrasion resistance. Over all throughout the years more Xt has made it on my reels though.

I just fell in love with Trilene Sensation. 8lb Sensation on my spinning combos. It has great feel almost like Trilene XT but XT is too stiff for me. I hate it on my reels. I used to use Trilene XL for reels as it is a very managable and castable line but not quite as abrasion resistant as XT or Sensation. Fishing in the rocks this can be a mild irritation.

I use P-Line CFX flouro leader material for all leaders. This is very tough leader material. I used to use Trilene XT for this. I like the CFX Better, Very abrasion (teeth) resistant.

I have leader material in 6,8,and 10 pound test for different applications and conditions. I pretty much exclusivly use 8lb on my reels for walleye.

On my annual trip to Brainerd to North long, I caught a 2-3 lb walleye slip bobber fishing after dusk on 50lb powerpro...

Trilene xt 20# i'm with No. land

[Northlander]

For trolling eyes I will use 2# diameter and 10# test Power Pro as well. Gets baits down deeper without having to add weight.

[Great Outdoors]

8 lb Triple Fish (Camo)It's made in Germany, and the bulk spools look exactly like the Maxima spools. Used it for years, never had a fish break it, and have caught quite a few Walleyes 8lbs and up.

[Tyler Holm]

I've got a boat load of rods rigged for different scenarios, equip with different line fitting to each scenario.

Jig fishing - 8# Fireline 6# XL Triline Clear

Slip bobber - 8# XL Triline Clear

[Boedigheimer]

Expert, I used to use 6lb. P-line, but recently have fell in love with Gamma, for my snells and 8lb. Trilene XT for most everything else, including trolling sticks. I know braids are popular but I lose too many fish on the stuff.
