I've caught hundreds of walleye on polars. I usually use the heavier trip setting but that is because I am usually also fishing for Northern and in windy situations. I would probably go with the lighter setting if I was only fishing eyes.

I know you were asking about Polars. But might I suggest the ETU-10 from HT for the 'eyes? Large spool and easy tension setting. Perfect for those light bite, gun shy critters. I like 'em a lot. I set them up with Masons Ice Free tipup line with 8-10# fluoro leader ( I like Seaguar Inviz-X) and a size 12-14 treble hook. Little to no weight. Just my .02.

This video was posted on IS somewhere before, it has some good tips on setting the Polars that could be helpful. It starts at 10:45 but the whole video is pretty good stuff.
