Title: What line to use for jigging walleye?
Post by: lacquiparlelegend on Dec 24, 2015, 11:23 PM

Just got a new MH fenwick rod with fluegar reel and wondering what line to put on it for jigging walleye? Mainly use 1/8 to 1/4 oz spoons to jigging raps. Braid Mono? Pound Test?

4-6 lb test would be fine.  Mono or fluorocarbon lines will do.  I hardly use braid, unless it's strictly in the heated shack.

6lb micro ice has worked well over the years for me.

As far as strength, 6lb is fine fore most areas (unless you are in Erie or Bay of Quinte, the 8 or 10 I would guess). As far as type, braid is great if its warmer or you're in a heated house/portable, otherwise I have always used Sufix Ice Magic in the past. I'm spooling 1 rod up with Sufix Invisiline Ice (floro) to give it a shot this season

I use 4 lb Berkley Vanish or 6 lb Seaguar on my jigging rods.  Has anyone used / have an opinion on nano fill?

8lbs fireline micro ice with an 8lbs flouro leader is what i use on this same combo x2   I've tried almost everything and nothing gives me piece of mind for the possibility of the fish of a lifetime like fireline.

4 lb seaguar has treated me well.
