i agree i lived in anchorage and saw a ton of tourists catch dime bright kings full of life on wallyworld 40 $ combo's . was always amazed by this. i use a fiberglass surf rod an ancient diawa 10' for the little salmon. cost 5 bucks at a yard sale 15 years ago. works awesome.....i wouldn't use a 400 $ set-up on the little salmon. sensitivity really isn't an issue as you are watching your line to stop anyway. but i will say graphite is better in terms of fishing all day as that big diawa gets mighty heavy after a day of flip n' ripin........
