ccmtcanada Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 With the BOQ G2G coming up, I want to be prepared. I got a new Shimano trolling rod and a Okuma Magda Pro reel with line counter. The guys at the local tackle shop spooled it with 14 pound mono. They said if I wanted a different line, to just come back and they'd take care of me. So, here's the question. When trolling on BOQ for Walleye, what line would you suggest (type and lb test) and why? I'm new to this fishing in a boat thing....any input would be apprecaited. Thanks!

Thanks! 8lb 9 foot rod bail the line couter(take it back and get a decent level wind knowing how far your line is out wont get you more fish all else fails a barbie rod will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tipupesox Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 If you plan on flat lining lures or running off of boards you will be fine with the mono. I would suggest using a non stretch line if you plan on running dipsies or diving disks. Good Luck....... Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headhunter Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 That set-up is just fine Cliff... I wouldn't change a thing, ok, I'd have chosen the Sealine over the Okuma but... you should be just fine. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
