Walleye Fishing Equipment
Because walleye have become such a sought-after catch for many anglers, there is a need for information on walleye fishing tackle, including which equipment to use based on the fish that you are targeting, as well as the location in which you are trying to find those fish. Here are some pointers regarding the best walleye fishing tackle you can opt for.
First of all, you should consider the rod and reel. These are going to make a huge difference in the ease with which you are able to bring in your catch. You’ll want to use a spinning rod and reel so that you can work jigs and light cranks. These are the most important lures to have in your walleye fishing tackle box, and you’ll need the correct equipment to make use of them. The best suggestion for rod selection is a piece of equipment made out of graphite that is rated for medium action. Choose a model that is somewhere between six and a half and seven feet long. It should have increased sensitivity in the upper third of the rod, while the lower half still has a fairly stiff spine. Your reel should have extremely smooth drag because you’ll be doing battle with these fish (they don’t come easy!). This spinning reel needs to be rated for 8-10 pound test line, and you should probably opt for monofilament line. These components together add up to a deadly combination for walleye.
Your walleye fishing tackle box can now be filled with the additional equipment that this baitcast rod/reel combo is able to handle, including heavier line and bigger lures (meaning that you can get bigger fish). The combination of these two products will actually allow you to use 12-14 pound test line and are great for all styles of fishing, including casting, bottom bouncing, and trolling.
Now, you need to be concerned as to what size and type of lures and bait you carry with your walleye fishing tackle. Jigs work wonders – they are some of the best lures for catching any kind of fish, and they almost always work. Therefore, you should always keep jigs around. There are three major things to consider when choosing a jig: style, weight, and hook composition. Since jigs are used in direct contact with the bottom of the body of water and need to remain steady on the floor, the weight is an important factor in setting up to make sure you are on the lake or river floor. For example, in water less that 10 feet deep, an eighth ounce model will do the trick, while up to 20 feet requires a quarter ounce jig. The style of jig in your walleye fishing tackle is going to be dictated based on your intent; round- or ball-headed jigs are the most popular.
