8'6" #7-8 Graphite Composite. Floating line with 10 foot sink tip. Was at the Mamquam all morning and landed over a dozen. Kept this one. Going to go out and get the Little Chief on Friday and smoke salmon for the first time!

a good drag system is a handy thing to have..I always palm my reel too until i have a moment to tighten my drag..i've had my fair share of rats nests and banged up knuckles !
doesnt have to be expensive gear to be good..on my 4-5 switch I use a $50 dragonfly L.A 7/8..has a great drag system and looks pretty good on the rod and a perfect balance..

Mike's bang on.No need the break the bank,palming is a good way to go.If you don't have an exposed rim,you may have to get a finger on the spool

There is many people that have caught big metalheads on here. One i know of started this thread.
No pics of my weapon as i don't take pics of my rod and post it on the internet.
But most used rod is a lamiglas cert. pro 10'6" blank that i made paired with a calcutta te.
Second most used is my TFO 6wt that i put together a while back.

you should be targeting summers instead. They are way better than winter runs and obviously pinks. Youre lucky to be so close to so many rivers with steelhead
