A custom 10'6" salmon mooching rod for cut-plug and downrigger fisheries
A 10'6" medium-heavy custom mooching build — sized for cut-plug, whole-bait, and downrigger presentations on Pacific salmon water.
Built for real Pacific salmon water
Designed for cut-plug and whole-bait mooching for Chinook, coho, and pink salmon — Westport, Sekiu, and Neah Bay out of Washington; Sitka, Homer, and Ucluelet up the coast; Buoy 10 at the Columbia mouth; and Lake Michigan kings on the downrigger when the fishing calls for a long, soft rod. The takedown joint breaks down for travel without giving up the action of a one-piece blank.
Long, soft-action mooching profile with progressive load
Mooching demands a rod that bends deep on the strike — too stiff and you tear hooks out of soft Chinook mouths, too soft and you can't set on a downrigger pull. The NW Takedown action loads progressively from tip to butt, protecting hooksets and absorbing head-shakes from a hot king.
- Long, soft tip protects hooksets on soft-mouthed Chinook
- Progressive lower-section power for line management on heavy fish
- Takedown joint preserves blank action while enabling travel
