I'm currently using a GL2 1086C for salmon trolling in Puget Sound(not planned just ran into a good deal) and it works pretty good.
My partner wants to get the same rod but I can't help thinking there's got to be a comprable rod that doesn't cost so much.

Normal fishing for me is trolling off a downrigger using a "hotspot & hoochie".

Anybody got any suggestions?
