paguy Juvenile at Sea Registered: 04/15/11 Posts: 113	I looked the 1265 up online and it might be a little to heavy. maybe somthing more like a lamiglas x96j.

SlipperyFoot Juvenile at Sea Registered: 04/07/00 Posts: 99 Loc: Forks	My father in law has a Loomis float rod that he is thinking of getting rid of. It's probably longer and lighter than what you are looking for but I can get the specs if you think you might be interested. I know it's only been used a handful of times.

chrome/22 Captain C/22 - Team Stay Up Right! Registered: 01/13/00 Posts: 4194 Loc: Hurricane Ridge , Wa.	Originally Posted By: paguy Looking for a good heavier casting float rod. That Lamiglas X96 JC is the standard steelhead float rod around here. I would rate it a medium power, it will handle steel & all the smaller salmon like coho, sockeye & pinks. For chum & kings in bigger water you might get your a$$ handed to you, I'd go w/ a 1265 class rod for the big stuff. c/22 _________________________ Apocalypse Steelheader.

Dave Vedder Reverend Tarpones Registered: 10/09/02 Posts: 8379 Loc: West Duvall	Never heard of it. Seriously I am a bit baised. That rod is excellent for big natives, chums and chinook. IMHO its a bit heavy for anything else. _________________________ No huevos no pollo.
