I run the Church Tackle TX-22 boards and the Church Tackle Walleye Boards but only if I need a couple of extra lines in the water. I added 2 of the stern planers from Church Tackle this year and so far have really liked them. I run all of the planers with the TT-40 divers. I run the Shimano Tekota 300lc reels on 4 rods, and 2 Okuma Coldwater CW-153D reels on 2 rods. I also have 2 Diawa accu-depth reels in the 17 size if I need the extra rods.
Line is either Tuf-line XP or Jerry Brown, both are braid in either 30 or 40lb test, line color is green, yellow, red and blue, I actually have all 4 colors on my various reels. I buy it when it is on sale as color makes no difference to me or the walleyes.
Honeywell owns the patent on the spectra fiber and Western Filament who makes Tuf-line was one of first to make it into fishing line. I prefer the Tuf-line XP or Jerry Brown line as it is more round than Power Pro line and packs on the reel better without cutting into the spool. Let me make myself clear that I feel Power Pro is a very good line and that the only reason I do not use it is to flat in my opinion.
Leader material is 20lb Fireline Crystal. I start fishing worm harnesses at the tail end of the spawn when the water temps are in the mid to upper 40's. Then start adding spoons when temps reach the low to mid 50's. I do pull crank baits from time to time but they are always the Rapala J-7, J-9 or Wordens flatfish.Wakina
