I use power pro 20 lb braid on Okuma line counter reels on B & M 10' rods for the cranks and same type rods with spinning reels with power pro 15 braid for jigs long lining on Patoka. Jigs will be trolled at various depths at speed of 0.8 to 1.4 max speed, cranks will run a ave. of 1.4 to 2.0 speed, and depending where I am fishing and what type of water...and or structure switching out between 200 and 300 bandits as well as walley divers, rapallas, fat raps, even sometimes rattle traps there again,,along weed lines next to deep water, rock and sand areas next to deep water, mud flats and points after the weeds run out up at the dam area and upper Lick Fork area,,across from dam a few spots, the west side of the main lake of the dam has 3 key points that are good.. Both points of entry to Painter Creek are sometimes productive and on south side of Painter from point of the mouth,,going east,,that side is rocky with weed lines and even when out from bank,,humpy weed areas about 50 yds out from bank down to first bay going east,,the point in the back of that bay is rocky and has walleyes sometimes on it. Main lake quite a few rock/sand points out from weed lines,,even the point across from Wall boat launch at the mouth of the bay,,is long and dumps into river channel that has given up a couple of walleyes. Bandits will run sometimes if there 300's and I have 125' of line out as much as 17,,but my normal depth I would say, is between 12' and 15' as too much line out makes maneuvering touchy. Most of the time on the jigs,,no more than 50-70 ft of line out or as far as I can cast them. In the spring,,,catching them on the jigs,,most of the jigs are all but touching bottom or sliding over the humps and points when hit. With Patoka,,its totally hit or miss as you can never tell when your going to hit one and where.
