I like mine to feel the ticking on the bottom all the time, the secret is to hold the rod at a certain angle to keep it from snagging, what i do when I feel a snag coming on, you pull the rod up high and then it wil come out, and settle in its tickin' path. Why I like to tick it 24/7 is because walleyes usually stay close to the bottom. It's where they are.
Sure you'll find them suspended, and thats where planer boards comes in. I'm a big fan of planer boards. Suspended fish will move away from the on-coming boat to the side, and that's where my crankbaits comes to them. (It doesn't have to be solely crankbaits, can be spinners, crawler harnesses etc.)
I'm also a big fan of Jet Divers at Deer Creek and Starvation. They do get the lures deep down, and stay there until the bite comes on.
You don't need a trolling rods for those three. (Bottom bouncers, planer boards, and Jet Divers) See... a walleye fanatic can have lots of fun getting their lures down to their mouths
