Downrigger, Mooching & Trolling Rods

Downrigger rods are designed for trolling at depth using downriggers, allowing anglers to target salmon and other species in deep water.

Most anglers use rods around 10'6" for downrigger fishing, offering a good balance of flexibility and control.

These rods are primarily used for salmon fishing, but can also be used for halibut and other large coastal species.
