Hi all.
I am looking for a decent length float rod for Steelhead/Salmon that I can use with a spinning reel for now.
I am located in Newmarket.
Thanks,
Steve

i have this same rod. used it as my first river rod. its very good for the price as a starter
the only bad thing is the last bunch of about 4 guides dont line up smoothly with the larger ones behind them, and it might cause some catchups or friction on drifts.. very minimal but thats the thing that bothered me a bit..
on a warm day it wouldnt be bad enough to consider, but in the cold its worse then other rods with better guides
im talking about the 9'6 version. it was good and got me fish but within the same season i went out and got something a bit better
personally if your not sure about going all in yet or just need something cheap, go for it. if you can wait or afford to spend around 200 or more, youll get something much more worth your time imo
hope that helps id still recommend it for the price.

The micro-lite from basspro are great rods for the money. I picked a 8' up for bushwacking a little trib last year in my area. Its a im6 graphite with a decent back bone, as far as hooking into a salmon im not sure if its got what your looking for, would be fun horsing one in for a bit, but you might end up with 2 rods instead of one. I liked the rod so much i picked up the 9'6" for a back up to keep in my car instead of having one of my higher end rods in there to be stolen like my last one did with my spare waders.
