Downrigger rods for trout/salmon??

[Mr.Harry]

I use Okumas and shimanos in the 7.5 to 8.5 range. Medium and medium/lights. Like someone else said, what they would term a 'walleye rig' in the Great Lakes. Same goes for lead core test strength, the whole shibang. Walleye set ups.

Anyone used the Cabelas Pro Guide Kokanee casting rod in an UL? Wondering the quality and if it's actually a true UL. Inknow some of those cheap rods can be pretty stiff for what they are said to be.

  Hey Maine! If ultralight is kinda what you are looking for check out Bass Pro's Micro-Lite rods. The ones I have are 8,6" and 9'6". I think they might be steelhead float rods. They've boated a bunch of Kokanee and a few laker pups up to 8 lbs. These rods have a nice parabolic curve when set in downriggers and the long length lets you handle bigger fish.
