    Assuming your casting????

    Most ppm use different poles for perch and walleye. Perch you normally want a very light pole, walleye a little stiffer.

    Perch you can get away with some pretty thin line or braid if your prefer. Never tried to cast braid, but on my perch I have 6 pound mono, of my casting pole I use 17lb floro, on my trolling rods I use 30lb braid.

    Male sure if using lighter line to keep the drag set soft. The fish will take some line but your not putting all the force on the lighter line, or pulling on the fish hard.

    When I get 's big on hooked up and not trolling one of the first things I do is loosen the drag

    Yes, casting. And need to get the 17# floro you mentioned I think. Not gonna chance it again losing 2 big ones after working so hard all day to get a couple in the boat. Thanks! Didn't think I would ever like walleye fishin but actually ended up loving it! My husband has been trying for years to get me to try it. I told him he better not take me out there again with piece of crap equipment! Funny now....wasn't funny Saturday!

    I use a 5' ultra light w/8 lb floro for perch and 6'6" medium action w/braid and floro (one of each) for Walleye. What general area were you casting for Walleye?

    I usually fish out of Mienke's, but two weeks ago, September 2 when the Perch bite was all but dead 5 of my friends went on a Charter out of Mariner Village Marina (Sawmill Creek). We went to the Dumping Grounds, we were trolling for Walleye and we got 36 nice fish between 8:30 AM - 12:30 PM. My point is there must be good fishing in that area. My boat is not set up for trolling, I'd really like to come back and give casting a try in my boat but its kind of far, One hour 1 hour 15 minutes by car... Thanks again, tight lines and good luck.
