bc style down rigger rod

[Crunchy]

I am working on my bucket list and one thing is a new bc style downrigger rod that I intend on pairing with an islander reel for this years salmon season.  Looking for input on rods if anyone has one.

Look at the Loomis Imx pro/ BC mooching...10'6....

I messed with one in Canada and it was pretty sweet.
If you can find one look for an older Sage 3106. Awesome rods.

Lot of guys in Canada run Fenwicks and seem pretty happy with them.

Currently I go back and forth between my Lamiglass and a couple Shimanos I really like. All older models not made anymore.

good ideas.  I fish a lot alone and was thinking maybe a 9.5 footer make it a little easier to net.

I loved my old noodle rod and steelhead reel off the downrigger
Id have that sucker arching with the tip skipping the water

haha I can picture that.  Was just looking at Prolite rods.  Not familiar with them but they might have what I am looking for if that brand is good.

I’d buy a lamiglass and save a few hunnys

My brother uses a Shimano Convergence in 10'6" on his center pin setup. I've caught a few fish on it, it works well and has held up for years now.

Not new but a Hardy 10-10 is a great rod for that. I would top it off with a Hardy Longstone reel but that's me old school.
