e6x is the best spinning rod on earth. i would really like to see ADX fish with them more because there is no way they could ever claim their okumas are better :P
This video and Jordans video really helped me narrow down my choices when i was choosing a rod. Ended up going with a Okuma X - Series 9’3” rod with a Stradic FL 4000, can’t wait to use it for some winter Steel Heads this January.
you guys down U.S. sure do love spinning reel and short rods haha, us from Ontario - small tribs = 10' to 11', medium to large tribs = 12' to 15' (medium fast action to medium heavy fast action) with CENTERPIN
Hey Addicts, wanted to share I purchased an Okuma Guide Select Pro spinning reel after hearing the guys raving about them and they have a limited lifetime warranty... got stupid on my 3rd trip out with it and broke it on a snag... Okuma replaced the broken upper shaft under warranty! Just sayin' in case you are shoppin' and wondering about brands and support when "stupid" shows up on the river! Thanks AF gang for letting us know about the gear you are using.
I like that rod but mine is 8 to 17lb 3/8 to 1 oz went with that choice because alot of the rivers I fish also have Salmon it works well it's the same make an length just a lil heavier thank you all for making fishing enjoyable
The Covid -19 has put a real dent in trying to find a good Salmon rod, although after watching this video I was able to find it on Amazon and they are delivering it in three days. I have never yet fished for "Crome" but intend to this winter. Thanks for the advice.
I think this would be great for steelhead, but what should I do if I float fish for Chinook also? Should I go with a 9'9" Medium or Medium-Heavy when I'm targeting Chinook? Thanks
What about line for these reels and fish should you go with whats on the rod where it says 8-12? Or bump up the main line and what would be a good leader line size
I’m looking at a set up for brook trout, land locked salmon and browns. Smaller fish than you guys are getting out there.. would that rod be too much? I see they have a 8’ UL
Spinning reel for the beginner but in the long run, is a baitcaster better for float fishing? I'm new to steelhead fishing and have an opportunity to pick up a brand new IMX casting rod for 200 but I'm a spinning reel guy so not sure if it's worth it to jump on the rod and invest in a reel.
Came across your channel looking to see if they make rods and reels for saltwater fishing specially for float fishing. I'm here in South florida. If you know then I would love to hear what companies make it for saltwater. Or should I just go with a surf rod and spin reel and apply bobbers to the salt application.?
yeah but slow action rods are best at finessing salmon on lighter lines. I'd catch more salmon on a slow rod with 8lb leader then a fast rod with 12lb leader. the fish will hit lighter leaders by 10 to 1.
What are your thoughts about a 9’9” M? I’m trying to find the size on rod and weight of lure. I tend to use it on Beach for Stripe bass during spring and salmon/steelhead during the fall/winter season.
Can i use a Shimano Technium Sea Trout 9'1” 5-35 g with a Centerpin reel or that a no go? Im in Sweden and wont fish for huge fish mostly 3-6 pound fish.
Can u make a suggestion on a rod that will work for both salmon/steelhead? Just starting to explore drift fishing and don’t want to invest in dedicated setups.
So I bought a 10’ 6” float/drift rod the Lamiglas X-11, and very first cast with a 1/2 oz bobber, 1/4 oz in-line sinker and 1/4 jig with worm, the pole completely snapped in half...I know for a fact it didn’t get stepped on or anything. Any ideas of how this happened or why? Or if lamiglas is known for this..?
The 6-12 lb rod referenced in the video is a medium light power, moderate/fast action (or maybe medium action. The rod itself just says medium light action). Okuma SST or Guide Select Pro, depending on how much you want to spend. I just picked up the SST today after it was recommended from a local shop.
Hey everyone! Great video! So I'm looking into these rods, but for walleye, bass fishing with some pike mixed in on a big river. You think it would be a good choice? I would probably go with a heavier model, but the length of these rods will allow me to cast out further than with my 7 foot spinning rod...
Honestly for walleye I have a 9'6 berrypro knights sword it's Chinese from Amazon for 50 bucks or so. I love the rod though it was actually made nice. I also have my all around rod which is my 6'8 st. Croix eycon snap jig. I don't always jig with it but it's deadly all around. The rest of my rods are cheap from Meijer or Walmart. No more then 40 dollar rod and reel setups. I have to fish a boardwalk with a12 foot wall and super fast deep current. I use a 2 pound sinker to a 3 way swivel to my main mine and a leader. That's how I walleye fish and coho. All using cheap medium to medium heavy power and fast action rods. Never a rod failure. I have had 2 feels fail in my 15 years of fishing and that was a 70 dollar gander mountain reel and my 10 dollar berkly fusion reel that I bought with the berkly fusion rod at Walmart years ago for 10.99. all I'm saying is you can catch almost any fish on any reel in fresh water. If your targeting sturgeon or flathead or something then definitely don't skimp. Bass I like a heavy power and extra fast action spinning setup and I love ultra light setups for then as well. Bought the south bend 5' micro setup and it was awesome landed an 8 pound pike with 4 pound test on a black and gold panther martins.
Get the Okuma 9'6" Celilo Salmon and Steelhead spinning rod med/lgt 6-12lb at Walmart/fishusa.com $54.99. Good for Salmon/Steelhead from a bobber, drifting beads or spinners/spoons. Good for Shad, Trout ect. Great all around rod, not breaking the bank. Use the drag on the reel correctly.
if you are on a budget a shimano clarus or a Okuma Aventa are good rods for the money but if you have a bit of budget the Closer from Lamiglas is the best feel I've found with backbone.

11’ 3” medium light is what I use for float fishing. Perfect all around length IMO. If I’m casting spoons a 10’ med works well
I just picked up 9'6 gloomis E6x series for my float fishing, i also got the abu garcia Revo x inshore for the reel. GL
e6x is the best spinning rod on earth. i would really like to see ADX fish with them more because there is no way they could ever claim their okumas are better :P
Can you guys do a video on drift fishing! Setup! Rig! And how to fish it!

I fish a centerpin with a 15ft rod, ill never go back for a big water rod, I use a 10'6" pin setup for smaller creeks tho
Very helpful

Found a video of Cam on UA-cam decked out in lamiglas logos. He was at the factory breaking rods.
Okuma must have paid some damn good $$ 😆
Would you take a 9’9 or the 10’ 6 for the Oregon coast rivers like the coos?
Would the same rod be good for coho fishing?
I think this would be great for steelhead, but what should I do if I float fish for Chinook also? Should I go with a 9'9" Medium or Medium-Heavy when I'm targeting Chinook?
Thanks
Columbia is opening up for steelhead. Maybe some tips for fishing for them in bigger water?

On IT!

Would you guys be willing to make a video of how to drift fish with just lead and eggs bouncing bottom?
How bout a lamiglas redline 9.4ft
yeah but slow action rods are best at finessing salmon on lighter lines. I'd catch more salmon on a slow rod with 8lb leader then a fast rod with 12lb leader. the fish will hit lighter leaders by 10 to 1.
You said fast action.... but wouldnt s medium light be more of slower action rod? 🤔
Not necessarily.

What are your thoughts about a 9’9” M? I’m trying to find the size on rod and weight of lure. I tend to use it on Beach for Stripe bass during spring and salmon/steelhead during the fall/winter season.
Would you recommend using a Low Profile Baitcaster Reel while floating, I am considering this with a medium level Reel?
I want to get the Okuma guide select pro but I live in ny is it good for ny slamon and steelhead

DMT Adventures what rod did you end up going with?

Lamiglas are known to lamisnap

I need to know Spinning reel spec's
Do you guys no longer run lamiglas Rods? Was there problems with them?
Never fails to amaze me how far the usa is behind europe when it comes to fishing .
What's better for float fishing a medium light, medium or medium heavy?
The 6-12 lb rod referenced in the video is a medium light power, moderate/fast action (or maybe medium action. The rod itself just says medium light action). Okuma SST or Guide Select Pro, depending on how much you want to spend. I just picked up the SST today after it was recommended from a local shop.
how’s shimano dialuna b96m
any thoughts on Noodle rods ???
which model number rod is that ?
Is the 8-17lb model to heavy for salmon & steelhead fishing in the pnw?
barely heavy enough, good luck with a 30 lb spring in current
@@zak52630lb springers are quite rare haha
@CJ-ld1kj 40 lb is pretty rare. 30 is every 3rd or 4th fish around here.
Where do you find ten foot fast action rods?
U still needhelp?
