Daiwa Sealine Salmon Mooching Combo

This setup is a perfect match for Puget Sound salmon. We typically use 2-4 ounce sinkers and mooch anywhere from the surface down to 200' and find this combo is a great option for that.

Perfect for Chinook, Coho and Pink Salmon
Short 8'6" 2-piece rod for easy fishing
Reliable line counter reel
P-Line CX Premium high visability line

The Rod

Daiwa North Coast 8'6" 2-piece 10-20 pound line rating, medium action is lightweight and easy to fish all day for this rod-in-hand technique. Length allows you to easily fish leaders up to 6' long and still net your catch. We like the power of this rod, as it is light in the hand, has the sensitivity to feel subtle bites, but enough backbone to bring a hefty Chinook to the boat.

The Reel

Daiwa Sealine Linecounter 20 is a great match for the 8'6" North Coast, and is one of our most popular saltwater salmon reels. Super accurate line counter allows you to target the depths you need, and a smooth drag will be there to take care of business when you hook up.
