Any walleye fishermen or fisherwomen on the board? I'm trying to select a new rod (maybe) for a new reel I picked up over Christmas.
Much of the walleye fishing I've experienced is trolling with a line counter reel. Santa brought me a new Diawa Lexa line counter reel, but I only have 1 rod that I can mount it (historically, I'm a spinning rod guy). When I lived on the east coast, I picked up a medium-heavy, fast casting rod but I had stripers and blue fish in mind for that purchase. For trolling for walleye, I'm seeing mixed reviews/advice of whether you should use a medium or medium-heavy. I'm willing to spend the money if I have to, but just want to figure out if I already have what I need.
Thanks!
