FSC SAR 360 Pro 1265-2
$325.00
If the ultimate salmon trolling rod existed it would want to grow up and become a 360 Pro. Decades of rod design, manufacturing, and professional guiding went into the design of these rods. A perfect hybrid, with a tip that loads deep and recovers slowly to not interfere with the action of the lure. Are you using a flasher? No problem. Diver and bait? No problem. Kwik Fish, plugs? No problem. 360 Pro because it is an all around workhorse that is preferred by the pros (and their clients!)
These rods feature extended fore-grips to not allow the blank to rest on the rod holder, a double locking stainless seat, and guides that are ceramic free (we opted for a pressed hardened metal instead) so that there is no chance of losing an insert.
Perfect for the great lakes, trolling in bays, and our home river the mighty Columbia. These rods are powerful to control oversize sturgeon and make quick work out of spring chinook! This seven model family provides rods from light to heavy lead weights, with a length spread from 9’2 to 12’6 for those running multiple rods in their boats.

The original Gary Loomis plug rod, designed to fish Hot Shots, Wiggle Warts and other deep-diving steelhead lures. Built with a really fast taper and a magnum-power butt, this rod works well for light-duty backbouncing as well. But the place it really shines is in cross-over duties on the hunt for stripers and small sturgeon. It casts lures of up to a couple ounces, no problem, and will handle up to 4 ounces in a trolling/mooching situation. The long rear grip and trigger reel seat give you total control.

Designed initially as a Hover rod for salmon and steelhead, the HVR 763 has proven to be an ideal bass rod too. This is an exceptional rod for small shallow-running crankbaits and vibrating/wiggle baits like Big O’s or Super Spots. This rod also handles small buzzbaits and stickbaits exceptionally well, and it makes a terrific ultralight saltwater popping rod for sea trout and puppy reds. The HVR 763 loads easily so you can cast light baits accurately, and it excels in clear water where light line and small lures are the keys to success. For the salmon fishery, Hover fishing is the presentation of eggs just off the bottom right in front of the fish’s mouth. The tip needs to be very light to notice a salmon pinch down the presented bait. But the blank must also have power for an angry 40-pound chinook. What makes this rod unique is an incredibly light tip and a powerful backbone all the way throughout.

A wonderful big-river steelhead rod, this 9 ½-footer is the rod of choice in northern Washington and southern British Columbia. The extra length allows you to fish a float or use traditional drift fishing methods with artificial eggs, bait and spinners. Boat anglers like this rod for boondogging the likes of the Skagit and Cowlitz.

As you travel north through steelhead country, rod lengths gradually increase (by the time you get to Canada, you’re up to 12 feet or more), but when you look at the techniques involved it is easy to see why. Float fishing requires long rods to handle the floats and long leaders, while the smaller, brushy rivers of Northern California require shorter, lighter rods for success. By the time you get to the Cowlitz River in west central Washington - just up the road from Edge - you’ve hit 9-foot country, and that is where this rod shines. It handles the long leaders and light leads required for the low, clear water of summer, and the heavier gear necessary to fish the high, emerald-green water of December. The graphite is HM, because sensitivity is the name of the game and overall weight is an important factor, especially in a longer rod.
