A bit late but here's my .02
You've got your order a bit mixed up. I fish salmon/trout on Lake Michigan out of Chicago and the walleye trolling is whats new for me.
This is the order you want:
Main line
Snap/swivel
Dipsey
Snubber
Leader = or < rod length
Flasher
Fly, tied at 1.5-2.5 length of /dodger/flasher (Various flasher brands recommend different lengths for their flasher AND may be speed dependent). I usually mark mine with a sharpie
"Go to" color for lakers is white fly behind a chrome or trash can dodger.
I dont know that a snubber would be necessary for walleyes as the strikes are not nearly as violent as salmon/trout. Perhaps a walleye guy could chime in on that one.
Also what size dipsey are you using for walleyes? Guys? Anyone? Beuhler? Beuhler?Last edited by karloutdoors; 10-05-2014 at 08:29 PM.

snubbers
Snubbers are a yes for walleye. They also help keep hooks from being pulled out as fish fight. I always use snubbers on dipseys and my leaders are 5-7 ft long to the lure. 30 pound braid ( 8 lb dia. ) and 20 lb flouro leaders.
