Q&A: Leadcore Trolling Walleyes with Brad Hawthorne

Trolling crankbaits with leadcore is one of the best ways to target deepwater walleyes quickly and efficiently. We sat down with Minnesota fishing guide Brad Hawthorne and picked his brain on "leadcoring", a tactic that he's spent a LOT of time perfecting. We cover several topics ranging from favorite baits and his rod/reel setup, to big mistakes anglers make and some of the biggest misconceptions people have about leadcore. Enjoy!

Great info Brad!

Great video and good that this is an information video vs showing 20 minutes of people pulling in walleye. Information rules. The Q & A format is great. I am a lead core junkie and will even use it fishing 14 or 15 feet on some structures.

I want to make a 10 color rig any suggestions? looking at the Okuma cold water reel and suffix 832 Lead Core. But not sure what size rod and reel.

[@DC-fy7hy]

Ten color will fish 50 foot that may be to much for walleye.

Can’t hear the guy talk! All I hear the background music. 😐

[@steveg2509]

KFS 486 I hear him just fine.

[@Mrfishreed]

it is called a leader not a tip line!

[@jayc5373]

When it’s 30-50ft it’s no longer a leader but tip line.
