Spinning Reels

Your choices of a fishing reel to be used for when fishing for walleye depends on your fishing technique. Anglers who regularly use several fishing techniques during a day of fishing often include in their walleye tackle, three or four combo rod & reel outfits, each set up different with lures or live bait setups.

I recommend you use the following tips when you select your walleye reels to mount to your fishing rods.

For good sensitivity and casting performance , your reel must balance with your rod. Make sure you match your walleye lure, walleye jig, and live bait weights with the correct line recommendation for your reel, and rod combination when setting up your fishing rigs for walleye. For example, if you attempt to use a reel intended for 12 - to- 20 pound line with a rod designed for 4 to 8 pound test the outfit will be butt-heavy.Too much weight on the butt end makes casting difficult because it interferes with your wrist snap. And weight dampens the sensation from a subtle bite. Matching rod and reel combinations are a must, and One of the most important pieces of your walleye tackle.

When selecting a walleye fishing reel, look for the following features:

#1 A rear Mounted drag.

#2 Make sure the reel has a skirted spool of adequate size to hold at least 100yards of line.

#3 The bail mechanism needs to have strong string tension. If the bail does not close all the way, the line will ride on the bail itself rather than on the roller. When you attempt to set the hook, the bail will open up enough to line come off of the spool. Some of the best spinning reels have a spring on each side of the bail.

#4 A free-turning bail roller. The roller must must turn when the line passes over, If it does not, heat and abrasion will damage the line and may wear a grove in the roller.

#5 Interchangeable spools. These spools snap into the reel, enabling you to quickly change to a different weight of line or type of line, or to replace a half empty spool with a full one.

If you are looking to add more options to your walleye tackle, make sure when you pick walleye fishing reels for casting, pay very close attention to the backlash mechanism. The Backlash resistance is the most important feature of a bait casting reel. Bait casting reels are sometimes used as a walleye fishing reel for some fishing techniques, for example when trolling for walleye. The backlash mechanism should be made of a magnetic or centrifugal brake system to make sure you have a good backlash resistance. A high gear ratio is not a requirement when fishing for walleye because fast retrieves are seldom needed. A gear ratio of 4:1 is usually adequate. You may be able to find a good bait casting reel that has multiple spools, for quick change of line. This especially handy when you are trolling for walleye.

Most experienced walleye anglers will not select a spin casting reel as one of their reels for walleye fishing because most spin cast reels have poor drag features. But there are some walleye fisherman who use them. If you purchase a spin casting reel make sure it has a smooth drag and a reliable line pickup mechanism. Unless the line is taut, the mechanism on a cheap spin cast reel often fails to pick up the line when you turn the handle.
