Personally though, I always use a 6-8in leader line as well when fishing for pike. I’m gonna go with Backwater Charlie on this one. 10-12lb Stren Original Monofilament line.

Heavier line will be seen by the fish. 6 to 8 pound spiderwire works great. I'm from Minnesota and have caught a lot of walleye. If you are trolling from a boat use a red/white Lindy rig with a leech. From shore use a bobber and fish with a leech or shinner minnow. You have to go where the fish are so you need to keep changing the depth of your bait till you find the fish. Keep in mind that walleye are schooling fish so when you catch one get right back to the same spot because there will be plenty more. It just may take a while to get the first one. Also get some Salmo Hornets for casting These are the hottest new thing that everyone is using to catch fish. Get a few different colors red/white green/white black/white and what ever else you like. Fish will be attracted to different colors depending on their species and water clarity. Red/white represent a wounded fish. Green has better Color visibility in cloudy water. Good luck.

I have no idea though, I try not to watch Al Lindner or Babe Winkleman.

The tooth structure on walleyes is different and seldom will you get line cut. What I use to fish with depends on the time of year. In the spring I mainly use jigs and minnows, and then spinners and cranksduring the summer, and jigs and either leeches or crawlers in the weeds For wallies I use 6 and 8 lb test to gain more sesitivity with jigs and spinners.

After all it takes a VERY VERY long walleye to equal 10-12 lbs. I would prefer Stren Original Monofilament line. Crankbaits, jigs, spoons or those spinner rigs tipped with a nightcrawler are all good baits. Live chubs work very good also. 10 or 12 lb. test will be fine.
