Again, thank you all for the advise and info, and i post picks of my first catches when the time comes.
I would probably get an Avenger 30 size instead. The 40 is a pretty big reel

I when window shoppin today and with all the info i got i think i found my rod combo that I want for my first salmon pole, lol, it's a field and stream IM7 specialty rod and reel combo, it's 8'-6" and holds 8-10lb. line. the action is MH but I think it might work for me as a virgin river fisherman.[-o<
Just letting you know that they(field and stream) break very easy.
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
