Your dad is right....you don't need a steel leader for walleye. The reason people use a fluorocarbon leader is because the line is pretty much invisible under water, and may improve your chances of catching a fish. It's not for strength. I use 12 pound floro for my leader, attached to the main line with a small barrel swivel.

Good Luck
