I am looking for a conventional rod/reel setup for steelhead. I might consider trading some high end fly gear for it or just outright purchase? Would prefer high end like a loomis rod and quantum reel setup but will consider what ever you may have.

thanks

Are you looking for spinning or casting? Loomis isn't all that great anymore (mostly because it isn't loomis). The Shimano line of rods is actually getting nicer (go figure). Now, for an inexpensive route, TFO is making an AWESOME line of gear rods designed by Gary Loomis. Nicely built and handle nicely. I have 3 of thier rods now I'm testing out. I'm in love with them. Something to consider.

Hey Jerry,

both . Looking for casting for myself and ten spinning for the kiddos and wife.

Thanks

Really look at the new TFOs. They are beautifully built and super economical. Could buy 2 to 3 TFO for one Loomis and quality is same IMHO.

Will the TFO's have the sensitivity needed for steelheading around here with a baitcaster??
