Thanks for the info, my friend. Are you serious about 20 to 30lbs line? I just stripped my 30 lbs and replaced it with 15 lbs!! 30 was what I used in AK. And every body here recommends 9 1/2 to 11 rods. That long, huh? Not that I question your tips, I am just surprised. Well tomorrow is my second steelhead trip ever, so you see a guy all wrapped up in fishing line in the middle of Clack, please call 911!

I am watching all the YouTube tutorials and it's fun. Thanks again.
