I am looking for a rod I can use for both halibut and salmon. My buddy just gave me a nicer yard sale reel and I want to pair it with a decent rod. I already mix and match all my gear as it saves me money and I truly dont think the fish care. Any suggestions on a good halibut rod that could also be used for sammys? Ideally under $100, but i'd spend up to $200 if it seems really worth it. THanks

I picked up a pre-owned lamiglas classic glass 8'6" MHC from my buddy back in 2017. That is the only rod I use for salmon and it also does pretty well bounce ball trolling. It is listed as $109 on their website. Highly recommended. Used it 3-4 years in my hand now and still great.

If you were using a downrigger the Lami Classic Glass is pretty awesome. I use the Phenix Abyss HD 786 for pulling lead or diver. I love it. Caught some nice salmon and halibut on it. Very versatile rod. Cant go wrong with a good ole Uglystik either. I prefer any fiberglass or composite rod. Seeker, Lamiglas, Calstar, Phenix these are some of my favorites. Oh yeah, the Shimano Trevala is a great rod too. Theres a reason its so popular. Im sure some of the more seasoned guys will have some better input, but that's my .02

A jerk at one end of the line waiting for a jerk at the other end.
