When it comes to selecting rods, salmon and steelhead anglers are very particular. They demand not only quality construction and materials, but also actions, lengths and tapers tailor-made for highly specialized applications. We considered all of these factors when designing our Origin™ series rods. Featuring HIC74 high-modulus graphite blanks, these rods are light and sensitive, yet strong enough to overtake large, powerful fish. They also boast only the finest components, including: Silicon Carbide (SiC) Line Guide Inserts; full-length premium cork handles; and lightweight, durable graphite reel seats with cushioned stainless steel hoods.
