Well, my birthday's not for another month and a half, but it's never too early to plan ahead. Now that I've got a boat with downriggers, I'm going to need (maybe "need" is the wrong word) a downrigger rod to pair with a Penn Squall 20 reel. I've been using my Okuma SST so far, but the reel doesn't fit in the seat well, and I'd rather keep that as my dedicated rod for steelhead/coho in the river.

Any recommendations on a solid downrigger rod for salmon fishing in Puget Sound?

Any thoughts on these:
