Nice fish

wow

Nice

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'd like to purchase one of the steelhead/salmon baitcasting rods from out west, can you hook me up with the link to the tackle stores out there that sell them. Much Love

Thank you GungasUncle.

looks pretty badass

I just had a custom 13'6'' CTS 4-8lb spiral wrapped bait caster built. Your fish tend to run much bigger, will this be fine for the bigger ocean run fish?

Are you guys using the 4-8lb blanks out there or stepping up to the heavier blanks. We need to have our steelhead bait casters custom made out here because we cannot find the longer ones in the store. Is that something that is traditionally sold on the West?

I find that the delay caused by setting the hook with an open bail on a spinning setup (float fishing) causes me to miss some strikes.

I've been into Centerpining now for a few years and I am transitioning into using a baitcaster west coast style (I'm from the Great Lakes). We use the long 13+ ft rods here. Wondering the rods and length used mostly in the west coast for float fishing with baitcasting setup. I was told you guys...
