I also have reels with 8lb mono and 6lb mono. I always get new line from a bait and tackle store put on the reels before a trip. I always have an extra spool in the tackle bag. On my last trip I had 5 of the same kind of reel and 6 spools of line. And these reels all went on light or medium ugly stik fishing rods. The rigs were either trolling, TGO, zulu, or slip bobber. When trolling, I use the medium action rods. |

If I thought I was going to do more slip bobber and trolling live bait for walleye I'd go with the mono route. If I was planning on a lot of casting I'd go the braid route |

I'm sure this has been addressed many times in this forum, but not near the top. I like to use the lightest line I can. However, I expect to do some trolling with rapalas/heavy spoons and expect (hope?) to occasionally tie into a big pike or laker. What test would you recommend? Also, how do folks feel about green line in typical BWCAW/Ontario waters? It *looks* to me like it disappears better than clear line. But I'm not a fish. Is there a downside in some situations? What do you like best? I'll only have one rod, so looking for the best all-round selection rather than something for a specialty. Thanks! |

Any thoughts on that green line? Are there places it would be a disadvantage? Also, having read the forum about the purpledescent deep diving tail dancer 11, I picked one up and am excited to try it. Think 8# mono would stand up? I also got a tail dancer 9. So I could make that adjustment instead. |
