I use Okuma dead eye rods 7.5 ml rods with Okuma convector cv20d reels spooled with 12 lb big game. When the walleye move deeper, i replace the reels with 30 size loaded with 5 color cores.

A diver is far more versatile.

I troll for walleye in East Ohio and Pennsylvania primarily, but travel to Lake O a few times a year. To run 6 rods,my money would be on 2 riggers (1 with a flasher fly or flasher meat and 1 with a spoon possibly with a fixed slider on the spoon). 2 braid divers outside and 2 wire divers inside (wire divers do well for us in the central basin for walleye mid summer too) I run 20lb leaders for spoons and 30 for flashers. Invest in decent fluoro for this. Since I'm spending your money, I would get 3 or 4 flashers and a couple each flies and meat rigs. I do haven my best success on spoons, but feel that a flasher or 2 in the spread brings them in. I do best on Moonshine spoons in Carbon 14 and Green Jeans, Black NKs, Dreamweavers in NBK and occasionally Stingers and Dreamweaver super slims in various colors. Greens, whites and silvers or some combinations of them do well for me in flashers, flies and meat rigs. While I enjoy shopping online, for just a few items, I'll stop at a good tackle shop, such as Boat Doctors in Olcott and Narby's or Captain's cove at the Oak. These places will also carry fillets for your meat rigs, ice and other incidentials and generally provide solid advice. Good luck on your trip. Brian

Last season I ran the mag offshore boards for the first time. On one side I ran a 300 copper and the other a 10 color. This year, I plan to run 2 per side. Would you run the cores on the outside and copper inside, or run copper on one side and core on the other? We run 3 or 4 boards to a side for walleye, but with shorter leads.

Looking for the following: Quad trees Tree rod holders 72" track Planer board holders Lure and tool holders Net holders Possibly other items. Please let me know what you have. Thanks Brian

i use 12# but I've caught plenty on 10's.

I too am very impressed with the facilities there. I have fished out of a dozen ports on Lake Erie and Ontario and it is hands down the best.

I run similar to sloooo motion, except I run my inside dipsy at 1.5.

The steelies we have caught out of PA and Ohio have all been on plugs on leadcore and riggers. Usually however dipsies and riggers with spoons are most productive. 2.5 to 3.0 seems to be the best speeds for us.
