Backbouncing is an efficient method for catching salmon, but you need a sensitive rod with lots of power to be effective. Sometimes they engulf the bait and sometimes they just hold it for a moment, crushing the eggs. Sometimes they really grab it and all but jerk the rod out of your hands. The beauty of this rod is that it’ s powerful enough to fish enough weight to be effective and light enough not to tire you out. It’ s our “power” backbouncer and will handle big water, swift current, heavy weights and really big salmon. It’ s important to note that the lure rating is for backbouncing, not for casting. It should cast up to 4-ounces effectively.
