Eazy Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Hi to all, I have been seriously considering acquiring a baitcaster rod/reel for casting hardware for Salmon or Steelhead. However, since this would be something new to me I was looking for some advice from fellow anglers. I will be casting spoons from 1/2oz to 3/4oz. I would also be looking to not "break the bank" since this would be something of trial and error for me. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioFisherman Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 How big do Salmon get up there? I might choose completely different rod and reel choices for 10 pound steelhead and 20+ pound salmon? Never fished for or caught a salmon, but the waters you fish may play a part in the selection? The rods and reels I used here for bass also seemed to work fine for steelhead, but it was mostly open water fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 I use the same rod for salmon and steelhead. Anything in the 6-10lb range, 10'6 etc should work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
