This ready-to-fish combo pairs a Lamiglas 9'6" salmon trolling rod with a Shimano Tekota 500 or 600FCX conventional reel, offering a premium setup for Pacific salmon fishermen at an exceptional value. Lamiglas, made in the USA since 1951 and headquartered in Woodland, Washington, is one of the most respected names in West Coast salmon rods. Their XCC series blanks feature a graphite and fiberglass composite construction with a soft glass tip section for trolling sensitivity and a powerful graphite lower section for fast, deep hook penetration — purpose-built for techniques including plug pulling, diver fishing, backtrolling, and downrigger deployment.

The Shimano Tekota FCX reel is a fully redesigned conventional trolling reel featuring 3+1 stainless steel ball bearings, a high-gear 6.3:1 ratio for efficient line retrieve, and Shimano's CoreProtect water-resistant construction that dramatically increases corrosion resistance — essential for saltwater and brackish-water salmon environments. The 500 size handles monofilament up to 14 lb/340 yards or 50 lb braid at 330 yards, while the 600 size handles 20 lb mono at 300 yards or 50 lb braid at 460 yards. Both feature a loud clicker and a new ergonomic S-Compact body design. This combo is well-suited for Chinook, Coho, and other Pacific salmon species and is ideal for both beginning trollers and experienced boat anglers looking for a dependable, high-quality setup.
