Thanks for the tips TRAUT.

Someone told me not to get a graphite rod for downrigger usage because the constant bend in the rod will warp it. He said fiberglass is best for downrigger usage. Is there validity in that?

I had been using my spinning rod and reel for kokanee this summer but I like the feel of the trigger finger and bait cast reel better. Its kinda like the setup I use in the salt when trolling for salmon.
