I am looking to add a new rod to the arsenal. Any advice/suggestions for a river/casting set up for salmon? I work in Vancouver/Victoria on a regular basis and want to have something for river and shore fishing.
Thanks,
Weekender
I have a G Loomis and a Temple Fork both in 10'6" lengths. I wouldn't recommend G Loomis even though it is a beautiful rod because they wouldn't honor a warranty on a rod that snapped fighting its first fish. I use Ambassadeur 7000 C3 reels and they have performed very well.
You don't need to over do it, buy an Abu reel and a +$100 river rod and your good to go, many options out there but unless you have loads of $.....you don't need a Sage, Loomis or Culcutta as starting gear
