How to pick the right rod and bait combo for every walleye presentation, all season long

Sure, you can catch walleye using the same rod for all fishing presentations, just like you could play a round of golf with one club—if you wanted to golf poorly. And just as a golfer matches clubs to different shots for a solid round, walleye anglers should use presentation-specific rods to ensure they have the best chance of connecting with fish. In the same manner, anglers who rely on just one type of bait are missing out on even more action if they don’t change things up. Put it all together, and you have the key to what works for walleye—all season long.
