FishTracker Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hi Everyone What type of line should I buy to fish walleye? There are so many different types to choose from. Cheers! I'm another fan of Power Pro braid. I like the 30lb. green, which has a 8lb. mono diameter. Fantastic stuff! Regardless of what line you decide, you'll be OK. There is definitely no shortage of line types or opinions of them either! Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't go wrong either way!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm not fussy over the colour of my braid...in all turns white after a few days on the water. The red bleeds terribly at first.Still is light red after 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 open-water jigging = braid ice fishing = mono cranks/moving baits = mono Stiff, fluoro leader material on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCranksalot Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm relatively inexperienced when it comes to line types, but I tried braid for the first time last year and I do like the feel of it. I use a mono or fluor leader, then a length of braid as long as I could cast or would use when trolling, then mono as a backing to fill the reel. That way I get the relatively expensive braid to go a bit further e.g 1 spool does 2 reels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontcryformejanhrdina Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I love braid. I'm definitely not a finesse guy. I've got 50lb braid on my spinning and casting bass rods and 80lb on all my musky rods, 100lb on my musky trolling rod. I can't stand the memory of mono and I will never go back.
