I just picked up a cabelas 7.5' inshore rod and like it so far. Durability will be a question. The past few seasons i have been using a wright and mcgill 8'6" salmon/steelhead rod. I love the extra length and the action of the rod but the reel seat is junk. Steelhead rods are great in my opinion, if you can find one that isn't too slow. You get good distance casting and plenty of backbone. I have been using a new penn ssz4500. Nice fast retrieve speeds and a great drag but its heading into the shop today. Hard to recommend the reel since it started acting up after half a season, hard to reel in even after multiple greasings.

Everything is better on the rocks.
