Default what line combanation do you use for walleye?

Hi all my question is i have 3 rods one is a jigging rod one is a lindy rod and the other one is used for trolling,bottom bouncing ect what line do you guys like to use for each rod setup?
I was thinking for the jigging rod i would use a type of flouercarbon in the 6lbs range,the other two rods i would set up the new braid suffix 832 with a type of flouercarbon leader as all three will b mostly used for walleye fishing.I have a friend that sweers by P LINE i really dont no much about that line and i really dont trust his opioen cause he thinks he knows alot about fishing but he really doesnt hows it going gramps lol.
So if anyone has any thoughts about what line works best for three setups or any tips on what kinda line is out there they like please let me no thanks for taking time to read this and good fishing to all this summer.
ps GRAMPS no need to reply cause what you tell me is always the wrong advice lol

For walleye I like to have one rod with 6lb mono and one with 10lb mono though I can usualy do without one or the other depending on where and how I'm fishing.

I would rig the jigging rod with a 4-6 pound super line(power pro or spiderwire) and rig the rigging rod with 4 or 6 lb. mono or superline. The trolling rod could be rigged with a 10lb superline. (Power Pro, spiderwire, or the 832).

You can pretty much rig the jigging rod and the rigging rod the same and if you are jigging have an extra rod rigged with a jig as well. And at the same time if you are rigging you can rig the other rod the same way in case of a bite off or break off. This way you can be back fishing immediately and rerig the break off while you are still fishing.

Power Pro is great. Love that stuff. On my jigging rods I use power pro and mono
(6lb trilene XL) depending on the water I am fishing. If I am in really snaggy/rocky structure, I will go with mono for ease of pulling the snag,snapping the line and quickly re-tying a jig without slicing your hand.

Power Pro with a 3-4' (6-8lb)Flouro leader. It works great because of its sensitivity and invisibility

6 lb mono for jigging. 2-30 lb test braid for rigging, use flouro leaders. Then depending what your trolling....10 lb mono for cranks or I prefer braid bottom bouncing.
