Okuma SST Salmon Downrigger Combo

Okuma SST Salmon Downrigger Combo

ackaged specifically for downrigger trolling, this combo doubles just as well for big river and bay trolling with heavy leads and divers, making it one of our most versatile offerings for West Coast salmon anglers. We're outfitting it with the Okuma SST Carbon Grip rod in your choice of medium or heavy power — sized to match your local fishery — paired with the Okuma Coldwater 30 linecounter reel, well-matched to the rod with enough capacity for most West Coast fisheries while staying easy to handle.

Rod & Reel: The 10'6" medium is dialed in for Coho, Pink, Chum, and most Chinook fisheries on 10-20 pound line, while the 10'6" heavy is a purpose-built Chinook rod on 15-50 pound line that still handles Coho, Pinks, and Chum, and the Coldwater 30 reel's reliable line counter lets you flat-line troll at a precise distance or back up your downrigger depth. Choose left or right-hand retrieve.

Line: We spool this combo with P-Line EndurX 65 pound braid and a 25' topshot of 40 pound mono, with the reel holding about 425 yards.

Best For: Downrigger, big river, and bay trolling anglers targeting salmon across the West Coast.
