I have a 1083s and will not put it down! Its awesome for everything as far as #3 spinners to float fishing and even tested on chums and a 24 pound Queets King! That is my limit for this rod though is 25 lbs. (never incedently though)Ill try anything once! Oh ya it has a Stradic 4000 on it. Perfect balance since this rod is a little on the med side. Let me know if ya want one? I have a friend who has one and never used it. W/ a semetry 2000 on it. I think that a 2000 is too light for that rod and especially Salmon though.
