Try a Shimano Technium 10.5' rod and you wont be disappointed. TC4 graphite construction, light wieght, fused on line guides, super strong, virtually unbreakable rods. You can get them at Island Outfitters, Trotac, Capital Iron, etc. for $160. I have 3 and their the best salmon rod I've ever owned.
Sharp hooks and full traps!
