I've never fished for or caught a Walleye through the ice and want to give it a try and would like to know what weight line do you guys use for the main line and leaders?
I'll be fishing for pike in a lake that has a good amount of walleye as well, and I have no experience with walleye. Will they be scared off by a quick-strike rig or wire leaders?
I fish 3 different bodies of water 2 stained and 1 gin clear and find them not to be line shy , I do use a barrel swivel and a leader just for line twist Soft water jigging it’s high viz power pro with a leader , and trolling straight fire line and shore casting high viz and leader , no need for steel leader for eyes , just my .02
To clarify: He's targeting pike looking for bonus walleye, not the other way around.
Chute curious what type of fishing jigging , casting etc
Breakin' off fish on 8 - 10# leaders? Musta been some hawgs. I can land fish that weight 3x the pound test of the line/leader I'm using. Routinely. No horsing and you'll get most of 'em. Unless it's a pike cutoff.That said I do catch walleye on very light wire rigs.
