Salmon & Steelhead "Economy" Package

In our Economy Package we recommend an 8 weight 4-piece Sage Vantage rod. The Vantage is a very solid and smooth rod. It is easy to cast and throws heavy flies and sink tips well. You also have the option of getting the 7 weight "light salmon" rod or a 9 weight "heavy salmon, big river" rod. For all-around Alaska salmon fishing we like the 8 weight.

The reel is a sturdy Sage 1800 Series reel. It is a cast aluminum, large arbor reel with a sealed drag system. Other options include the Lamson Konic 3.5 or the fully machined and very solid Lamson Guru.

The standard line is a Scienfific Anglers Headstart WF floating line. You also can upgrade to a Rio Grand floating line or a Scienfific Anglers Wet Tip sinking tip line in a variety of sink rates. 

The package comes with a Cordura covered, PVC rod & reel case that lets you transport your rod with the reel on it. Note that the photo shown is not the exact rod package.
