Hi Targa

Start out by using 15 and 30 foot leads made with 20# line.
I've also used 20 and 40 footers.

Use all the rapala sizes and let the fish decide which ones they like. I've had them hit on #5 raps up to size #13.

If you need more info on handlining OR "pulling wire" as we river rats call it, e-mail me at walleyefisherman@home.com.
Once you try it you’ll love this old motor city tactic.
