Thanks! This rod is great for $50. Being four pieces compared to two is super convenient. I can actually fit it inside a pocket on my pack. No more catching on brush! Good luck out there!
I’ve been using the Daiwa Spinmatic-SMD Rod for the last 3 years. Super compact and ultralight. A buddy of mine landed a smaller pink salmon on his rod last fall, it was fun to watch.
I like that rod. I picked up a Kast King 500 series reel recently that I'm pretty happy with, I might try one of their rods too, thanks for the review.
Santiam fishing rods has several pack rods. They are high quality at a fair price. Both 3 and 4 piece rods wrapped in Oregon, come with a soft cloth and tube. My 5-1/2 foot 3piece has a lure rating of 3/32 thru 1/2 oz. Cork handles and a hook keeper. Great rods
I agree, id pay a lil more for the rod and get a better one. Theres cheap and then theres break a rod cheap and a whole lotta cussin. The reel seems fine though for those lakes..
A better rod definitely has it's advantages! Also, if someone does a lot of fishing, they probably want better gear. I think this rod is good for $50 and great for someone just getting into fishing or who goes a couple times a year
This is a pretty great budget option! If you're willing to spend a little more money.... amzn.to/3AlpHWI ...check out the Daiwa Presso travel rod. It's better but it'll cost ya about $80. Lemme know what ya go with and how it works out for ya! (This is an affiliate link)
When I'm in the backcountry I never use a leader and I rarely use a bobber. I tie my braided line to a snap swivel and use that to quickly change out spinners and spoons. If I use a bobber, I still just use the braided line. Here's a link to a video of my usual backcountry tackle setup: th-cam.com/video/3RsibyJZqUc/w-d-xo.html
Eagle claw trailmaster spin and fly combo rod is my go-to. Just pack 2 reels 1 rod.
great video man, just ordered the rod, been using a 7' GX2 for the alpine trout. hasnt failed me yet, but a nice light 4 piece sounds great!

@ChrisBodven Nice! I was looking at that rod too. Looks great. Speaking of salmon season... right around the corner!

@Valco458 I know that's probably not how it's pronounced but I had to do it! 😆

@@CascadeBackcountry I agree.
I’m looking for something exactly like this for backcountry trout lakes

@@CascadeBackcountry the presso is what I’ve really been looking at!
@@CascadeBackcountry I ended up going with a presso take down and a qr 750 both diawa and am super happy!!
Very good choice!!!
@@CascadeBackcountryI’m definitely excited to get out this weekend and try it down at the local lake for some crappie and bass
Are you tying the braid straight to the lure or are you using leader? Mostly interested in your rigging with a bobber.
