    How far behind the flasher should the snubber be?

    How far behind the snubber should the fly be

    Maybe the snubber would work in front of the flasher or just behind it…yes/no?

    Please feel free to comment on the workability (or not) of above scenario and give one of your own if you will…I am new at this and need you guys’es advice
    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?

    Default 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.
