Rod and Reel
New Member
Hi fellow fishers, I have recently started fishing in the Fraser river and caught some small fish just trying different things. I now hear it is salmon season, and I have a 21ft bay liner and would like to try and catch some salmon. The boat has no down riggers and I am a beginner with fishing on a boat. I would appreciate if you can tell me which rod to use and a simple spinner or spoon setup. I also don't want to troll I just want to anchor the boat in about 30-10 foot water..
Rod choices:
7ft shimano rod and reel combo rated for 6-15lbs test.
9ft river king rod and reel combo rated for 10-25lbs test.
7ft d-shock rod and reel combo rated for 6-12lbd test.
Ps these are all spinning reels.
I have variations of weight from 4-15oz
20lbs test & 10lbs braded test.
Various spoons, spinners etc..
I also have various swivels..
Hope what I listed helps you give me an idea thank you!
(Add on)I also have 10lbs mono leader. And if I can also have a setup where I can catch trout and salmon in the same setup possibly.. Thank you.
