It should be this month from what I've been told. There's a number of new Steelhead/Salmon rods including 5 float rods and a 1143 IMX which I fished a couple of weeks ago. The float rods are going through the final tweaking right now. The lengths will be 10'6", 11' , 11'4", 12'3" and 13'4". I fished most of them and they are nice! The 13'4" will have the SK handle and the other 4 have the regular spinning type handle and they will range from as light as 4 lbs line up to a rod that will handle 15 lbs. line.
