My girlfriend bought me a islander mr2 mooching reel for Christmas. I want to get a nice rod to fully appreciate the quality of this reel. Any suggestions? I will be using this rod/reel for trolling for salmon primarily.
shimano technium or a fetha Styx chrome salmon both of my favs
10'6 is about perfectAmen.......and no teenie weenie rods, man up with a 10'6".
I checked those brands. Lots to chose from. What weight?
Damn, Derby strikes again! that's where mine came from too glad he insisted,15-25(i think my lighter one is) but 15-30 tends to be a staple and my usual for mooching rods which will be on the rigger.
A quick tip....look at the butt of the rod and find something when buried in your gut will be somewhat comfortable. I really liked my Fenwick HMX's but hated the butt on them....switched to Technium's with a rounded butt on them (thanks Derby) and really enjoy them.
Trophy titans are what we use and love them.
If they could only change the reel seats on the handles.....Trophy titans are what we use and love them.
I matched my MR3's with Loomis G2's last year I bought at the Vancouver boat show on sale. I'm going to pick up two more next week at the show. I sold off my Trophy XL's and couldn't be happier. The Trophy's do the job and are good value. But, the Loomis G-2's are a better quality match to the MR3's...

I broke 3 Shimano Convergences last year, popping rigger release on 2 of them. Got warranty but still waiting for the replacements. Over 6 months now.
Cant say I'm happy with the warranty.
