i suggest something in medium-heavy fast action im currently using a 9ft loomis gl2 in medium action and while its perfect for steelhead it just doesnt feel strong enough when i hook into salmon with it you have to fight them very carefully on a medium action. i suggest 8'6" to 9' in what ever brand you decide. loomis and lamiglass are top notch but like the other guys have said you dont have to spend 200 to 300 dollars to have a nice salmon set up griggs and berkley both make quality rods.i will be upgrading from my 9' medium action loomis to a medium-heavy next year now i just have to choose between loomis and lamiglass again.(it took me 2 weeks to decide when i bought my loomis because i like both so much)
dont forget a good reel is just as important as the rod.
