I am going fishing for walleye and was wondering how strong of line i would need since is just bought a cheap fishing pole that was only 20 dollars so would that be strong enough and what kind of lurers or bait should i use to cath walleye?
How many pound line would i need for fishing for walleye?

i have spellbound walleye on 12 lb test
12-20 fishing line sounds right.
it depends but i spellbound a 26 in walleye on some cheap eagle claw 10 lb test… you could catch a waleye on 6 lb if you have your darg set rite
stren 100 flourocarbine in the 14lb test and just a tip if ur gonna get serious about fishing i would invest in a better rod. excellent luck!
10 or 12 lb. test will be fine. With all it takes a VERY VERY long walleye to equal 10-12 lbs. I would prefer Stren Original Monofilament line. Crankbaits, jigs, spoons or those spinner rigs tipped with a nightcrawler are all excellent baits. Live chubs work very excellent also.
I use 6 lb for walleye.
i use 8 pound for eye’s
I use 10lb and I know you could go a few pounds smaller.
For wallies I use 6 and 8 lb test to gain more sesitivity with jigs and spinners. The tooth structure on walleyes is different and seldom will you get line cut. What I use to fish with depends on the time of year.
In the spring I mainly use jigs and minnows, and then spinners and cranksduring the summer, and jigs and either leeches or crawlers in the weeds
I’ve never spellbound a walleye here in southern California before, but I can imagine that 4 or 6 would be excellent, and maybe as heavy as 8 or 10 if you’re getting into a school of huge ones.
I have no thought though, I try not to watch Al Lindner or Babe Winkleman.
The lighter the line the better. Heavier line will be seen by the fish. 6 to 8 pound spiderwire works fantastic. http://www.spiderwire.com/
I’m from Minnesota and have spellbound a lot of walleye. If you are trolling from a boat use a red/white Lindy rig with a leech. From shore use a bobber and fish with a leech or shinner minnow. You have to go where the fish are so you need to keep changing the depth of your bait till you find the fish. Keep in mind that walleye are schooling fish so when you catch one get right back to the same spot since there will be bounty more. It just may take a while to get the first one.
Also get some Salmo Hornets for casting http://www.salmofishing.com/lures/hornet.html These are the up-to-the-minute new thing that all is using to catch fish. Get a few different colors red/white green/white black/white and what ever else you like. Fish will be attracted to different colors depending on their species and fill up clarity. Red/white represent a wounded fish. Green has better Color visibility in cloudy fill up. Excellent luck.

I’m gonna go with The middle of nowhere Charlie on this one. 10-12lb Stren Original Monofilament line. Personally though, I always use a 6-8in leader line as well when fishing for pike.
