We designed these rods to pull salmon and steelhead plugs like the infamous Hot Shot (hence the name), and that’s still their #1 use. But you’ll see anglers casting them for silvers, trolling them for big Kings or drifting bait with them for steelhead. The rods have light to medium tips and magnum-power butt-sections, which make them excellent casting tools and even better fish-fighting tools. If you’re unfamiliar, the Hot Shot technique goes something like this: The angler positions his boat at the head of a run and allows the current to pull the plug down to the fish zone. The boat then sweeps across the current so the plug covers the entire width of the river (lure action is then monitored by watching the wiggle of the rod tip). When a fish hits, the magnum butt-section actually sets the hook for you. The boat operator keeps tension on the fish until the angler can grab the rod from the holder. An extremely effective technique and a very versatile rod.

A two-piece, fast-action plug and back-bounce rod with plenty of power. Designed for use in the big rivers of Alaska for trophy Chinook salmon, this rod works well in light saltwater conditions, as well. If you're after really big salmon, this is a pretty fair drift rod, with more than enough backbone for shoreline fishing. But it really shines back-trolling large plugs like Kwikfish or Wiggle Warts.
Length: 8'6" / Power: 3 / Pieces: 2 Casting

Like its casting cousin, this rod was originally designed to back-troll small lures for steelhead or silver salmon. But because of its extra-fast design, light tip, and powerful butt, it has quickly emerged as the rod of choice for serious walleye anglers fishing spinner/worm rigs. Saltwater flats fishermen also like the light tip for casting soft plastics, jigs or bait to cruising redfish and specks.

This rod was originally designed to back-troll small lures for steelhead or silver salmon. It has sufficient power to handle fish up to 30 pounds in trolling situations, or up to 20 pounds in river drifting situations. Extremely versatile, the 9000C is surprisingly powerful. Northwest anglers have found it to be a great small stream drift rod for spooky summer-run steelhead. And in areas where chinook salmon can be found in quiet holding water, this rod is tough enough to handle kings up to 30lbs.

HSR932C Length: 7'9 Power: 2 Pieces: 1 Casting
We designed this extremely fast-action rod specifically to fish in-line spinners for the big Chinook salmon in Tillamook Bay, Oregon. These fish run in excess of 60 to 70 pounds, so you need a rod with extra stiffness and power in the butt-section to move them toward the boat. The 932 features a fairly light tip (in comparison to the rest of the rod) that allows the angler to watch the action of the lure while trolling, or, as in the case of some of the Northwest coastal rivers, back-trolling.
Handle: 14
Line Wt: 12-25
