Nanook, I'm curious what rods you and Fishin Mission are using for the big Tillamook tidewater fishing. I used to use a Lami Kenai Killer in 9' length and line rated 10 to 30 lb. I lost that rod out of my boat and have been using 8.5' 25 lb. rods in recent years, and am thinking about a 9.5' 30lb. rod. What do you guys recommend?

As for floats, I like the slidding larger Thill 'torpedo' shaped slidders for deep tidewater chinook holes. Up river in clear water I have watched bigger and/or brighter floats spook fish off to the side of the drifting float. I like to use the natural cork fixed floats in clear water up river.
