120lb braided fishing line HERCULES Brown Fade Free 8 Strands 10LB-120LB PE Fishing Line Tired of using a monofilament fishing line that doesnt stand up to your needs jof 12 strands 300 yards

To choose my rod, I watched a ton of reviews, and went with the recommendation from Matt Allen of TacticalBassin

If using mono I like to go with a more aggressive hookset as the line stretch is a bit more of a factor

Selecting the appropriate reel is also about the technique you wish to employ to chase salmon and steelhead on the rivers of the great PNW

(It also helps that they are an incredible bait!) Soft plastic toads can be thrown literally anywhere but truly excel when worked in and around pads, over grass mats, and across shallow flats

I recently had a chance to test them out on inshore species and they performed admirably on snook, seatrout, ladyfish and mackerel

Line Guide Inserts: As mentioned, ceramics (SiC, Alumina, Zirconia) are favored in premium reels for their hardness and low friction
