I broke my Okuma Celilo on the first fish when I set the hook, I was shocked how easy it broke I am 52 and have been fishing most of my life. Back to my Ugly Stick Elite 10-20 medium heavy.
I've been a Custom Fishing Rod builder since 1976 and Fishing guide since until recently!! Chinese companies may make some decent Reels, but where the hell would they Test their Salmon and Steelhead Rods at?!. As large as China is they have no runs of Salmon or Steelhead!! It doesn't have darn thing in it for me, but save and buy U. S. made rods like Lamiglas (made in Woodland Washington), they have Extremely few rods made overseas!! And upfront you can ask which models are made right here in Washington State. Their rods will last you a life time, as long as you buy or make a PVC tube for them, and don't shut a trunk lid on them. People of China and Taiwan sometimes do a good Job of taking American or Swedish Patents, and copy them. Japanese Shimano reels are Great, but in Order to compete with Chinese, even with Shimano Reels, you must ask if they were really made in Japan?! Real Japanese Shimano ain't cheap, but Again when you get a Real Japanese one, they also truly last a lifetime. But just keep them in a clean thick sock😊
Best Steelhead Rods for Salmon Fishing??!! That's lifke saying "The Best Roller Skates for Ice Skating 😂 Dear God, you don't even know the Pronunciation of "Celilo" as in the Celilo Falls that native Americans used to dip- net Salmon at. And you expect people to believe what you say?!
