salmon

Just looking for some advice on what rods and reels I would need for catching salmon & trout in my local river. I currently have a 12ft shakespeare omni x feeder & a Fladen Vantage 130 but don't think this would do for fishing salmon & stuff. Any ideas For a good starter rod for this can't afford too much but willing to spend ?

Re: salmon

your current rod would be fine for catching salmon, i usually just simply use spinners for the salmon in my river, 12ft maybe alot to work with tho depending on brethe of your river

Lol I landed a 10lb salmon on a £15 match rod and reel combo,i reckon your feeder gear would handle it.

Re: salmon

Does anybody know what size of line & leader I should use for salmon & trout ? Currently have 4 lb line on.

I would go for 12lb line,if its allowed on the river you fish,use a bunch of lobworms or a flying condom spinner.
