Salmon Fishing Rod Set Up

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Salmon Fishing Rod Set Up

Post by skyline »

Hi,

Can someone give me some advice what is the typical Salmon Fishing Rod and reel configuration?

I like to buy a set of Salmon Fishing Rod and reel combo but have no idea what rod length, power and action should get.


I am looking at the Fenwick HMX Salmon/SteelHead rod series, 10.6 feet Extra Light Power Rod, 2-10 lbs line test and max. 5/8 oz lure weight.

Is this rod too light for Salmon Fishing?

Thanks

I have the same rod. I've had it for 3 years now and I use this rod in the streams for salmon and steelhead. Its a very good rod for the price.

Good luck,
Chen K
