BillM Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 The reviews don't look very promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemper Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Never fished with a sheffield but I do have a lower model as a beater rod for floating salmon when there is nothing else to do. It fishes like a 13 foot piece of wet spaghetti...that said I HAVE landed a ton of fish (salmon and steelhead) on it without and problems. Its probably heavy, and probably suffers from tip sag, but you get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmls Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 for $200 I would buy a St.Croix Wild River Monday, Tuesday , and twice on Wednesday .... Okuma Steelhead gear is bottom of the barrel . Makes good backup gear....new Sirata included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St croix rods are a good choice if you are not looking to break the bank on a float rod. Its no IMX but hey, it does the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
