Thanks Jason,
I have a couple of 8#'s & was thinking about getting a couple more for back ups. Do you use different colored one's? I have 2 black one's & was thinking about getting a green or orange one.
we use 10lb anything smaller line swings out to much
I've never heard of people using downriggers for walleyes. Are you trolling spoons? Or what kind of rig?
I've done very well when the walleye are down deep, usually about 35-45 feet down in 45-75 feet of water. I fish night crawler harnesses behind the cannon balls. I hook my line up with a rubber band then clip the rubber band into the downrigger clip, so you can see the bite. Sometimes if you just use a downrigger clip, you won't see the bite and you'll drag a fish around until you pop the line. When you see the bite, reel up all the slack, then pop it hard enough to break the rubber band. I run the harness about 50 feet behind the ball. Try it. It works.Quote:
