Brade04 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I have a few jigs I'm going to be fishing with for walleye. Should I put on 4# test or 6# test line? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I think either would be fine.. if fishing a lake where larger fish are possible, IE LOW Mille Lacs, I might go with 6 lb. .if your regular run of the mill walleye lake, I think with a good rod and a decent reel, you should be fine with 4 as well..

northernsportman Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I am going with the 4# Gamma, that stuff is tough. I also like the way it handles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredd Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 4 or 6# Vanish (6 for Mille) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerchJerker Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Tough question - I split the diff and have 5 lb on my main walleye rod, I think it is Gamma. Darker water I wouldn't be worried about 6 lb line, clearer water 4 lb might be a better choice. One thing to keep in mind is that small lures will have better action on lighter line.

slipperybob Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 It also depends on your equipment. When I first started ice fishin with my rather cheap equipment. I had to pretty much use mostly 8# test. As 6# would break on occasion on me, and 4# would break on just about every other fish. Through the years as I got better equipment, I found that I can downsize and still be in control of the tug of war. I've pretty much dedicated 6# test for walleye's, that works a lot more on my confidence, although 4# may work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
