rbaquial Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hey Folks, Just a quick question regarding Dropshotting for 'Eye's... I've seen shows of pros doing drop-shotting for walleyes... my question is... Do they use Leader Material? or regular line? Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikeie Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 regular mono or floro would work fine. you rarely get bit off by walleye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallyboss Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Works in the winter also. that's how I setup my walleye tipdown if there is a lot of current. And like Ben Beattie said use a jig and minnow at the botom instead of a drop shot weight. Edited January 21, 2010 by wallyboss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimace Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 No need for the leader material. Walleyes have cone shaped teeth. Mono should work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 No need for the leader material. Walleyes have cone shaped teeth. Mono should work just fine. thanks for that, I've always wondered how a 2lb. hammerhandle pike could bite you off most of the time and a 5 lb. walleye so very rarely.

trapshooter Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 instead of using a dropshot weight on bottom, use a jig tipped with a minnow. Half the time fish come on the bottom hook, half the time on the top hook. Great rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBW Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Did you not watch FOF last night? Same set up applies to walleye's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin booth Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 i fish quinte alot and on average to clear days for best odds use super line of some sort because the no strech you want to see and feel any movement of line or you want to feel it as well and yes for sure use floro and no more than 10 or 12 lbs as well 4 or 6 ft of it.you should have a good set up,and if you and a jig to the bottom of it will wor as well but you will also catch suckers and catfish if the jig is just lying on the bottom.
