Walleye Rods: Your Fishing Technique Will Choose Your Rod

You need to understand your personal walleye fishing technique when you select your walleye tackle, particularly your walleye rods. Anglers who regularly use several walleye techniques during a day of fishing often carry three to four different rod and reel outfits,each set up with different lures and baits.

The following Walleye rod recommendations will help you chose the rods best suited for your style of fishing.

When you are selecting walleye tackle specifically a walleye rod for casting and trolling lures and live bait rigs in the 1/4 to 5/8 once range,make sure you pick a 5 1/2 - to - 6ft medium power,fast action spinning rod. The medium power,fast action spinning rod is generally considered a general purpose rod because of it's many uses.

When you intend to use small walleye jigs, and walleye fishing lures weighing 1/16th - to 3/8 ounces for casting, make sure you choose a 5 - to - 5 1/2 foot,light power,fast action spinning rod. This rod flexes easily on the back cast,so it works well for propelling light walleye lures and baits.

If you intend to purchase walleye fishing tackle to cast and troll large deep diving walleye fishing crank baits and walleye fishing live bait rigs more than 1/2 once in size,than I suggest a 5 1/2- to 6ft,medium power,fast action bait casting walleye fishing rod. This rod is much better for trolling than a spinning rod because of it's stiffness. You may want to look at walleye fishing rods that is equipped with a line counter if you are going to be using it primarily for trolling.

For you live bait walleye fishing anglers, pick a 6 to 7ft light power,medium action spinning rod.This rod will cast much further than a shorter stiffer rod.

The Walleye is a very finicky fish and are known to be very light biters. When you are selecting walleye fishing tackle,sensitivity should be a major consideration in choosing your walleye fishing rods.You will notice when you start shopping for rods that the rods marked "fast action" will generally be much more sensitive,than the slower action rods. I would suggest that you purchase your walleye fishing rods constructed of graphite. These rods transmit vibrations and are very sensitive to the slightest bite.

Other features that improve a walleye fishing rod's ability to transmit vibrations include a blank that extends all the way through the rod handle,a one piece construction,and light weight single-foot guides. Ferrules and double foot guides add weight and tend to restrict the rods action. Just remember to follow these simple steps when purchasing quality walleye fishing tackle. They may save you some time, money and frustration.
