I have 3 setups for steelhead spinning rod fishing. A 10 1/2' All-Star line rated 6 to 10lb, a 9 1/2' GLoomis GL2 line rated 6 to 12 lb, and a TH Custom Rod with Rainshadow blank that's 9 1/2' and line rated 8 to 17 lb. for dual purpose heavy steelhead and lite chinook fishing. All nice rods! I use Shimano Symetries on 2 of them and an Okuma 30 on the GLoomis rod. Works great for float fishing jigs, pink worms, or bait. And they do very well as as alternate from my casting rods for drift fishing.
