As for a reel brand, model and size I would go with something in the 1500-2500 series if it is an all around walleye reel that will be used for a few different techniques. For the brand you can't go wrong with a good mid level shimano, quantum, or pflueger. I am a big fan of pfluegers and have been running them for years. I run the trions and presidents but a quantum or shimano around those same price ranges are going to be very similar in quality.

Are you suggesting using 4-6 lb braid on jigging reels or mono/flouro?
I agree with Ravyak, no need for the super small diameter braided lines. Not much point in using 8 lb braid (1lb diameter) when you are going to tie a 6 lb flouro leader on IMO.
