for trolling the Slaw, I use a 7' MH Cabela's Tourney Trail® EVA Split Grip Casting Rod, TTESGC705, the whole Tourney Trail line of IM7 rods was just on sale 50% off in Springfield (these rods are always going on sale), I picked up an 8.5' M for Siltcoos coho (TTT864-T) for $34 (but I would not mind hooking a chinook on this rod).
I think a rod rating for chinooks something like this is about right: MH, Line: 10-17, Lure Weight: 1/4 to 3/4 or 1oz.
coho: M, Line: 8-15, Lure: 1/4-3/4.
Uhh, yeah if you are asleep you are definitely not attending your rod, very ticketable. Good thing u just admitted it for everyone to read
Wow those are some light rods. I have the cabelas tourney.. exact same but mine is a spinning rod. I just assumed I needed a rod with a line weight the same or larger than the line used(40lb). Is this # not relative to the breaking strength of the rod itself? Thanks for all the great tips roger!
I do not agree. until I discuss with a Trooper and get an exact answer from them, my opinion is that closely attended is a combination of distance and attentiveness.
dozing OFF while close to your rod on a small boat is closely attending. dozing OFF in a chair on the bank a couple feet from your rod is closely attending.
some people wide awake have slower reactions than some of us have while dozing. if you want to read some funny threads on this, go over to cry-fish....
sleeping in your truck with a rod propped up on the bank is not closely attending. sleeping in the berth/bed up front in a 34" cabin cruiser with a rod trolling out the back is not closely attending.
that is my opinion. roger
Laying down to sleep in a boat, while you still have a rod out is not closely attending.
If you dont agree thats fine, I tried to help. You assume I dont know what im talking about I guess

p1 and p2 don't have boat driving permits. So Driver can't fish! lol
Yeah, because it's not like it's in the General Regulations... under Rule #1.
"No, Boss, really -- I was 'closely attending' my desk!"
Q: is someone driving the boat in conditions requiring their attention for safety and not able to quickly get to the back and attend their rod allowed to have a rod out trolling?
Regardless of any enforcement officers' interpretation,I think The People have spoken on that issue. And he's wide awake(or so his passengers hope), sitting within a few feet of his rod.
Where DO poachers go?lol, "fish-on, fish-on!"
