Is it worth it to get into steelheading?

In my opinion there is a difference in a more sensitive rod. That said, you can buy a rod that will catch fish under $100. I have caught fish on a berkley air that belongs to a friend. I have seen those on sale for around $80. I like 8'6" medium or a 9'. also shimano makes a rod called the Clarus i have seen on sale for $40 that have caught steelhead aswell. One strange thing i have noticed about steelheaders is that most have a couple of rods. You might do very well to make friends with somone on here that likes to go and they can loan you a rod. This way if it's not your cup of tea then you didn't buy a rod you won't use.
