Prolite 10'6" Salmon Mooching Rod 10–20 lb | Medium NW Takedown | Purple Haze

A long-rod salmon mooching build on the NW Takedown platform A 10'6" medium mooching rod designed for cut-plug, whole-bait, and downrigger presentations on Pacific salmon water — long enough to manage line, soft enough to protect hooksets on soft-mouthed Chinook. Built for real Pacific salmon water Designed for cut-plug and whole-bait mooching for Chinook, coho, and pink salmon — Westport, Sekiu, and Neah Bay out of Washington; Sitka, Homer, and Ucluelet up the coast; Buoy 10 at the Columbia mouth; and Lake Michigan kings on the downrigger when the fishing calls for a long, soft rod. The takedown joint breaks down for travel without giving up the action of a one-piece blank. Long, soft-action mooching profile with progressive load Mooching demands a rod that bends deep on the strike — too stiff and you tear hooks out of soft Chinook mouths, too soft and you can't set on a downrigger pull. The NW Takedown action loads progressively from tip to butt, protecting hooksets and absorbing head-shakes from a hot king. Long, soft tip protects hooksets on soft-mouthed Chinook Progressive lower-section power for line management on heavy fish Takedown joint preserves blank action while enabling travel Built by Pacific Northwest rod builders Built by Pacific Northwest rod builders and proven on demanding salmon, steelhead, and saltwater fisheries. At home in Northwest rivers, coastal fisheries, Alaska, the Great Lakes, and anywhere anglers need dependable control over hard-running fish.
