Consider this deal done Joe. I will call you here within the next day or two.

You taking it to the PM or the Manistee ?

We are going to fish the little Manistee and Bear creek. Joe hit his first Steelhead with me last spring and this will make a good starter rod for him. Just takes one big Steelie to get the fever. Little streams and big fish make for some awesome fights.

Next thing will be a new reel that has a drag that can hold up to harsh cold weather. I haven't told him that yet! :-)

[Brian K. Shaffer]

I used a Pate Salmon on the PM. That reel can take just about anything. (especially $ out of your wallet)

I have a couple of the locally made (Baldwin, Michigan) Harris reels that work pretty well and have held up to a lot of abuse. Unfortunately they don't make them up there anymore. I believe the company sold out to a manufacturer on the west coast. If you have any recommendations for a stout disc drag reel that can withstand the cold and wet of Michigan Steelheading let me know. There should be some good choices without going over $250 and breaking the bank. We typically fish light tippets (at least for Steelhead) of 6lb and the key is having a good drag that has a smooth low-inertia start-up and stays consistent in extreme cold and wet. A lot of products out there just don't hold up if it's cold.

Cnr,

Look into the Allen reels. Ive heard nothing but good things about them. I know Brian Wise has one, I'm sure he could answer any questions you have.
