Craigslist is awesome for finding good gear at good prices. Abu-Garcia's are my favorite heavy duty all around reel, I use an 8' 6'' Olympian with the stock Ambassadeur reel as an all around rod/reel combo, but a 10ft would do you better for casting and fishing rivers.
If you check Craigslist, use a variety of keywords, like rod, fishing rod(s), fishing pole(s), tackle, fishing tackle, fishing gear, salmon, steelhead, etc.
