[QUOTE="Migrator Man, post: 257257, member: 2369"] I would use a ML or M, 6-6.5’ fast action rod with 6-10lb braid. You can tie on a flouro leader if you prefer but not needed. Weight of the jig depends on how light you can get away with and normally fish with 1/8, 5/16, 1/4 depending on the amount of current/depth. I use minnows early after ice off and then switch to plastics later on in the spring. I’ll use minnows until the fish start biting plastics. When fishing minnows the fish are normally picky and want a subtle action such as dragging it on the bottom or small lifts off the bottom. When I fish plastics I pop the jig off the bottom more aggressively and let it fall and hit the bottom. The walleyes will bite it when it hits the bottom on the fall and sometimes is very hard to detect. [/QUOTE]
