What is a good mooching rod under 150.00? Love to hear from Robbo on this one.

We've used the Lamiglas Salmon Moocher's for quite a few years and they work great. I use the 1308T rated at 12-15 pound test for both silvers and king salmon. I played around with one of the new Fetha Styx moochers at Dougs Boats a few weeks back and they were super sweet too. The main thing is to get a medium action rod that has a uniform, parabolic action along the entire length of the rod. Find a 8'6" to 10'6" rod rated at 12-25 or 15-30 with this action and your in bidness. Mooching is fun!

I've been extremely happy with Fetha Styx since I started using them and they have rods available at price points for everyones budget.
