Coho / Chum n Trying out a Cheap Baitcaster

[Brandonkop]

Catching Chum and Coho Salmon on the Vedder River in British Columbia with the Piscifun Torrent Baitcasting Reel. This is my first year really starting to get into river fishing for salmon. The prior two years I had pretty dismal success. This year things are starting to make sense and I'm catching the odd Salmon. I've been using the Piscifun Reels including the Honor Spinning reel and the Torrent Baitcaster. The Torrent is mounted on a 9 foot Diawa float rod that I have spooled with 20 pound Power Pro braided line. Today the guys fishing around me were catching salmon floating roe, but I didn't have any. So I tied on a pink Bent Rods Jig below the float and the action started quick with a nice male chum and then soon after a great wild Coho salmon.

I hope you enjoy the vid.

Very nice, looks like a nice little reel. Man that river never disappoints. Those coho are so beautiful, and such a blast to catch.

Yeah it was a little bit of a slow start for me, but starting to figure out where the fish hang out and now catching some fish. Yeah the coho are amazing... look like they're right out of the salt. Thanks.
