Druce 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2012 So, iv gotten into light tackle for salmon fishing, last year (2011) I got to fish a lot for salmon and found it was a blast to tackle them on a 6 weight rod. When the season gets colder I tend to switch to sink tips and the 6 weight I use is perfect for it although im wondering if there is a stiffer rod. Im wondering if anyone has ever possessed a 6 weight rod that was crazy stiff, currently I have met no match to the cabelas cahill 6 weight its stiff as nails an cheep landed 100+ fish on it. any contenders?

onceahoosier 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2012 TFO rods are fast, particularly the TiCR-X. If you like Cabela's, I've always been a fan of their LST/LSI rods. Very fast, and light, and on sale they're a great buy IMO. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FKROW 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2012 Any rod rated for 7wt would cast a 6wt line with ease,,, for years I used my Sage 790 RPL with a WF6F line. The rod does not care which line you use,,,, it is only a recommendation by the individual manufacturer. Any good graphite rod will comfortably cast +1 and -1 line weight.

Stonepark 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2012 Scierra Rods have a reputation for being stiff, I have the Ferox, but believe the Matuka is similar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
