Originally Posted By: Nor Cal Drifter That said, THE absolute best rod to drift fish with is the Loomis STR 1082s IMX. Amazing sensitivity, plenty of backbone, and perfectly balanced.

If the man absolutely positively wants to fish a spin rod, I gotta back NCD on this. Thats a perfect low/clear h2o rig. Also like the Lamiglas 96 LS & the Rainshadow 1142s w/ that same reel. c/22 _________________________ Apocalypse Steelheader. Chucking gear as the end draws near.

steeliedrew SRC Poser Registered: 11/04/10 Posts: 2104 Loc: Snohomish	As for a rod I'm very happy with my G.L. Steelhead Series rod. It's a 9.8" 6-12lb. medium lite power, fast action in spinning. I will be getting a casting outfit though ASAP. So, Buy em both. _________________________ No head like STLHD! "Dude...where's your boat!?" Team runaway drift boat prostaff.
