I want to buy at new steelhead fishing pole and was wondering what you guys would recommend and if you know of any places that have good deals on any right now.

Plenty of places to get a good rod. The Berkeley IM7 "Buzz Ramsey" rod is an excellent choice for the money at $79.99 at the local Bi-Mart here in Hillsboro. What kind of action do you want? Line size rating? spinning or casting? There are a lot of very knowledgable anglers on this BB so let's hear some opinions.

Check with GI Joes. They had the Lamiglass 1000 series on sale for $99.00 and the 500 series for $89.00. Lots of rods to choose from in different line capabilities. Hard to beat the Lami!

Preferably casting because I have an extra reel for a casting rod. I really dont have a preference on the action.

The North River series at Fisherman's Marine is very hard to beat at about $80. If anything happens to it, they hand you a new one on the spot. My kind of guarantee!

Fishon~ E~mail me if you want a Loomis. I have a connection and buy all my rods @ 40% off retail. I also know a local rod wrapper who builds Custom Loomis very reasonable. Hope this helps. I got a rod for mark and he loves his.~John
