SALT PATROL TROLLING/DOWNRIGGER 10FT 6IN 10-25LBS MEDIUM HEAVY

Designed by Captain John Keizer of Salt Patrol

Built in collaboration with Pacific Northwest trolling expert Captain John Keizer, this 10'6" downrigger rod delivers the performance, durability, and price point real anglers demand. Whether you're targeting Chinook in Puget Sound or trolling deep offshore, this rod is tuned to do the job right.

John’s Design Highlights:

• Length: 10'6" – Perfect for maximizing spread and controlling depth behind downriggers

• Power: Medium Heavy – John’s preferred rating for Puget Sound salmon, offering backbone with just enough give

• Action: Moderate – Maintains pressure and keeps fish pinned, especially on barbless setups

• Line Rating: 10–25 lb – Versatile for a range of salmon trolling techniques

• Hi-Vis Tip: Helps you spot subtle takedowns and small shakers in low light

• Rubber Butt Cap: Built tough for long days in rod holders and on rough boat decks

• Accessible by Design: Made cost-effective so every angler can fish like a pro

Why It Stands Out
John didn’t just consult on this rod—he helped shape it based on years of hands-on trolling experience. From tip sensitivity to downrigger strength, this is the setup he uses and trusts when chasing salmon across the Pacific Northwest. It’s built for performance, priced for everyone.
