I prefer a 6.5-foot fast taper, M/MH action rod like the Penn Rampage, Shimano Tallus, Tsunami or OceanMax as my go-to sticks, mated to a Penn 975 International baitcaster or an Avet SX lever drag, spooled with high-vis yellow 30-pound TUF-Line or PowerPro superbraid
The vulnerable baitfish appearance, strobing flash and slow fall of a flutter spoon are key stimuli to walleye, but if these dont evoke an attack adding a couple hops and shakes will likely seal the deal
Powerful Machinery tests each product for tensile strength, working load, and gate integrity
They are simple to learn, yet very effective in use
The idea was to cast behind a ridge of reef about 15m from our posse, let the bait sink and then try to get a hooked fish back over the top of the reef and into deeper water
