Cal's Trout and Salmon Rod

It is a guide-designed all-technique trolling rod for trout, landlocked salmon, and striped bass. The 7'6" medium-fast HD composite glass blank blends the sensitivity to read light trout bites with the backbone to fight hard-running salmon and stripers on the troll.

The blank is a 7'6" two-piece with a medium-fast action built from HD composite glass. The extra length produces a natural bowing action when a fish runs, absorbing sudden direction changes so it helps keep the hook pinned instead of straightening it out.

It uses double-foot guide frames with aluminum oxide inserts. The double-foot design stays planted under trolling load, and the smooth aluminum oxide keeps your line tracking cleanly through every guide. That matters when a big salmon or striper makes a hard, fast run against the rod.

It is tuned for both. The medium-fast action gives a sensitive tip that telegraphs light, finesse trout bites, while the lower blank carries enough backbone to turn a running landlocked salmon or striped bass. That balance is the whole point of the HD composite glass build.

Yes, that is the design goal. The 7'6" medium-fast blank handles finesse trout spoons, dodger and lure combos, and heavier salmon presentations without swapping rods. It is meant to be the single trolling stick that covers your full trout and salmon program on the water.

Match it with the Rigged Trolling Reel - Hybrid Leadcore. The hybrid leadcore line lets you reach trolling depth without a downrigger, and the reel arrives pre-rigged and ready to fish, so it drops straight onto this 7'6" trout and salmon blank.
