Choosing a Setup


Choosing a Setup
         First you guys will need a Fishing rod, open-faced, a spinning rod, or even a Bait casting reel it really depends on what type of fishing you guys prefer. What I prefer is mostly Spinning as you can troll, Shore fish, and even Jig with. Everyone has a different type of feel for their setups as I tend more towards open-faced for trolling, and lean more towards spinning for bobber fishing. Once you guys have chosen your setup, its time to move on to your line and choice of configuration. You guys want to take in to consideration of what you want more sensitive or more snag proof line as you will call it. If you want more "Snag Proof" I would probably get 10 pound to 12 pound "Braided Line" as it tends to be much stronger. Also, make sure you lube you're reels and have them serviced regularly. Next, you should choose a rod to properly fit your reel setup, should you go for more of a sensitive or more for a snap proof rod? I think its safe to choose a 6' 6" rod medium light as it will take anything from 6 to 12 pounds as walleyes can get that big.
