Help on a Walleye Setup

Featured Replies

Any recommendations on a spinning reel and type of line for a good walleye setup?  

I am looking for ANY reel (New or Used/Vintage but in excellent condition) that can be had for under $100...

Here is the rod I will mate the reel to:

Make/Model:  1986 Fenwick Hooksetter 100% Graphite HSS 726

Type:  1-piece Spinning

Length:  6'

Power:  6 (Medium Heavy)

Line:  8-20 lb

Lure:  1/4-3/4

Thanks kindly.

i always used a cardinal 101, light action rod with 6 trilene XL when i lived in minnesota....i landed a 36 inch muskie that tried to eat my ten inch walleye on this set up...it was a ton of fun!

Try a Pflueger President....6735 model maybe. Great real for the price, super smooth. Line I would recommend some Power Pro.

Shimano Symetre.

I have always like the Quantum PT's (Catalyst, Kinetic, etc). Pflueger makes some quality equipment in spinning as well that are reasonably priced. Basser89 has me hooked on the Suffix braid on spinning tackle works very well.

Pflueger Predsient 6730, GREAT reel, with some 8lb Power Pro.
