A good choice for drift-fishing small to medium-sized rivers where you have sufficient room to work a fish once hooked. It balances perfectly with ten-pound line and half-ounce lures and is surprisingly strong. It will handle most smaller salmon species and steelhead, but is on the lighter end of the spectrum. A good great summer-run rod and GL3 offers a good blend of power and sensitivity.

A good all-around steelhead spinning rod for fishing medium-sized rivers. It will handle most smaller salmon species and steelhead, but is an excellent choice for redfish, seatrout and any of the light-duty saltwater species where long casts are required. GL3 makes this rod light and responsive. It will work well for silvers and chum salmon as well as winter and summer steelhead.

Designed for winter steelhead where you need a rod with a little more backbone because of the higher water conditions. It has all the features that are required to be a successful drift angler... length, power, sensitivity, reach and forgiveness. Rated for up to 17-pound line, it's strong enough for kings, but is better suited for Silvers, Chums or Sockeye.

This rod was designed for winter steelhead where sensitivity is important. On the average, winter-run steelhead run larger than their summer cousins and more power is better. Rated for up to 17 pound line, it's strong enough for kings, but is better suited for Silvers, Chums or Sockeye. It's our best all around drift rod and thanks to IMX is extremely light and ultra-sensitive! Advantage angler!

Designed for winter steelhead and the small salmon species where you need a rod with a little more backbone for the larger weights required to fish higher water conditions and faster current. It is a good alternative rod for stripers, blues and other medium-sized, light saltwater species, especially when wading the flats where a longer rod helps extend casting range as well as line-control. GL3 gives you good sensitivity and light weight, both important attributes when drifting bait rigs and soft plastics.

A very sensitive, lightweight summer-run steelhead spinning rod, designed to fish 6 & 8-pound line and light sinkers in low, clear water conditions. It has a light, responsive tip with a soft mid-section that allows you to make delicate casts with small lures or bait to spooky fish. The butt-section is still powerful so you can handle large fish. While it is designed with light-line applications in mind, you can still fish ten pound line for some of the smaller salmon species, which makes it a nice option for low-water fall fishing.

The further north you travel through steelhead country, the longer the rods. When you see the size of the rivers, it's easy to see why. Rivers in the northern half of west central Washington are long rod country. This nine-footer handles the long leaders and light rigs required for the low, clear water of summer, and the heavier rigs required to fish the high, emerald green water of December. It's IMX because sensitivity is the name of the game and lighter is better!

An medium-priced, light-line steelhead spinning rod that is designed for boondogging or side-drifting. It has the perfect combination of sensitivity and light weight to handle light line and is still powerful enough to catch winter fish as well as summer-runs. The technique requires a soft, yet sensitive rod so the bite is detected quickly before the fish can react and drop the bait. Our proprietary GL3 material makes this rod light enough to fish all day without getting tip-heavy!

This is a nice blend of power and finesse in an extra-long drift rod. It's designed specifically for the big rivers of British Columbia where you need a little more sensitivity to detect the subtle take of a steelhead. It has a medium power rating that makes it ideal for summer steelhead and the small fall salmon species. GL3 gives you a great combination of strength and sensitivity. Light enough to fish all day, tough enough to last a lifetime!

The ultimate light-line steelhead spinning rod. It has the perfect action to handle really light line and a subtle power, much like that of a fly rod, that tires the fish very quickly. It was originally designed for the Northwest technique known as boondogging, where boat anglers free-drift, down current, the same speed as the river. This allows the bait to maintain a drag-free drift beside the boat. The technique requires a lot of sensitivity and a more forgiving rod because the fish will drop the bait the minute it feels any resistance. It works well for both winter and summer-run fish.
