Those Loomis rods are woth every penny,
Also 2-6# is not light when a lot of people use 4-8# 1141s for steelhead. Just some thing to think about.

If I did not want to feel the trout Fight. I would use my 5'6" 50-130# halibut rod and put my oversize sturgeon reel (penn international 50s) with 650 yards of 130# tuffline XP ;\)
