Rod Suggestions

[MuskieBait]

Try to look for the Shimano Convergence Salmon & Steelhead rod CVS90MH2B. At the higher casting range, it can cast up to 3/4oz lures from shore which are good for lures like Little Cleo, Len Thompson and J-13's. At the lower casting range, it can cast as little as 3/8oz which is good for float rigs in the river. If you know (or work on) how to cast and get the mechanics of casting, you should be able to cast even less weight to a good distance or even heavier weight without snapping the rod on the cast.

If this rod is like my 12' Convergence, it should have a Limited Lifetime Warranty. You can find it online for $90...maybe a little more in Ontario from tackle shops.
