A 10’6″ medium mooching rod designed for cut-plug, whole-bait, and downrigger presentations on Pacific salmon water long enough to manage line, soft enough to protect hooksets on soft-mouthed Chinook.Built for real Pacific salmon water -Designed for cut-plug and whole-bait mooching for Chinook, coho, and pink salmon Westport, Sekiu, and Neah Bay out of Washington; Sitka, Homer, and Ucluelet up the coast; Buoy 10 at the Columbia mouth; and Lake Michigan kings on the downrigger when the fishing calls for a long, soft rod. The takedown joint breaks down for travel without giving up the action of a one-piece blank.Long, soft-action mooching profile with progressive load -Mooching demands a rod that bends deep on the strike too stiff and you tear hooks out of soft Chinook mouths, too soft and you can’t set on a downrigger pull. The NW Takedown action loads progressively from tip to butt, protecting hooksets and absorbing head-shakes from a hot king.Long, soft tip protects hooksets on soft-mouthed ChinookProgressive lower-section power for line management on heavy fishTakedown joint preserves blank action while enabling travelWARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm -www.P65Warnings.ca.gov
