baitcasting rod on sale KastKing Zephyr Dual-tip Baitcaster and Reel Combo Green Offering excellent sensitivity and power Blusea 7ft Baitcasting Fishing Rod

Your first fishing reel for salmon and steelhead First of all, its tough to tackle this topic (see what I did there?) without addressing brands and brand loyalty

Ive landed fish up to 6 lbs

If you want to get more specific and get a better feel for it, you can use a digital scale to attach your lure to and pull with the rod

I like to skip my popper all the way to the back of the shade, and slowly work it back to the boat implementing long pauses allowing the bass to locate the lure from a long ways away

The Pflueger President is one of the lightest spinning reels available

I still have that rod and reel today, and still fish with it
