Rod ID Question

[ejolin]

Hey everybody,

New to BC, coming from a background of lake fishing out east so completely new to river runs.

Found this rod a while back and it has no brand or model really to give me something to look up for better specs.

It’s a 10’6” graphite steelhead rod with 4-8lbs handwritten on it (pictures attached) and that’s about it. Seems plenty long enough for salmon but the 4-8lbs makes me think it’s a light action.

Any thoughts on this thing? If good enough for salmon, what would your ideal spin casting reel be? Been looking at the shimano nasci 3000 or 4000 but don’t have any sort of brand loyalty.

Whoever made that blank it's a Trout rod not for Salmon.

Can't tell from the pictures but if it's 10'6" it's probably a casting rod not a spinning rod. A spinning rod would have much wider guides towards the reel seat. If you plan on float fishing, a levelwind bait casting reel would be the right choice, but that rod will probably be too light.

Looks homemade, maybe it is mismarked???
Your pictures are not showing the size of tip or butt.

My guess is it's an Ontario noodle rod.
