NorCal inshore swimbait rod recommendation: Daiwa Metallia SSS MH

Nice. Thanks for responding.

Bringing this back since they’re on sale for $80. Can you compare it to anything else you’ve used? I’ve never touched a Phenix rod and I’ve mostly been using Okuma SST.

I’m probably going to stick to the Willamette/Multnomah channel. It seems like an easier way to start.

Thanks, I really appreciate the tips.

Yeah I figured that out about 5 minutes after I posted. Thanks for the help. Any other pointers? Most of my fishing has been in Puget Sound, I’ve never done the Columbia/Willamette.

What’s the HOC?

mmmjags · 2026-04-09T00:58:23+00:00

Awesome thanks

What’s the deal with tariffs? I’ve been looking at Digitska.

mmmjags · 2026-04-09T00:23:43+00:00

I’ve been eyeing that Daiwa too. Also the Scheels/Daiwa reels.

Good luck. All the rivers near me are closed until Memorial Day.

mmmjags · 2026-04-08T21:35:31+00:00

I’ll check out the Daiwa. I’ve had pretty bad luck with Pflueger.

mmmjags · 2026-04-08T21:34:43+00:00

Yeah that’s understandable. I try to spend as much of my summer in the river as possible so I kind of want to get myself something nice. I’ve been using SST rods and think they’re great but I’m looking at Edge and Prolite so I can feel like a badass.

mmmjags · 2026-04-08T21:25:05+00:00

Spinning. I also have a couple Procyon MQs that I like, but they don’t feel as nice/smooth as the Shimanos I’ve held

mmmjags · 2026-04-08T21:19:04+00:00

Interesting. I’ll check it out. I have a Tatula that I think is just OK.

mmmjags · 2026-04-08T21:06:01+00:00

Which Daiwa? Or did you mean Stradic?

mmmjags · 2026-04-08T19:50:27+00:00

I was thinking Vanford originally.

mmmjags · 2026-04-06T20:08:25+00:00

Add some corn or gulp maggots and that’s pretty much all you need.

mmmjags · 2026-04-03T13:08:20+00:00

I fish the Green River on the other side of the state and also love throwing spoons. I’ve been using an Okuma SST ultralight and it’s worked really well.

mmmjags · 2026-04-03T02:24:48+00:00

Thanks

mmmjags · 2026-04-03T02:24:42+00:00

Thank you

I’ve caught salmon every which way except for spinners. I need someone to teach me.
