Thanks guys. Sorry for the delay. I ended up taking a 4000 series reel with braid and picked up a 10 foot Shakespeare steelhead rod at the local Walmart. No huge catches, but caught a few colorful fish tossing rotators. Also had a couple fish blow up on top water plugs without hooking them. Fun being able to walk outside to the beach at sunrise and sling some lures. Also did a couple hikes to isolated beaches - always more fun having a rod in tow. Ironically I ended up using a steelhead rod more in November in Hawaii than I have in Washington in 2020 thus far.
