I live in the Midwest and have never fished steelhead other than on Great Lake tribs. That's what my equipment is geared for.
I've just started planning an Alaska trip. Don't even know yet which rivers I might want to fish yet. But I do know that I'm not interested in fishing for kings. I'm more interested in fishing steelhead/rainbow and salmon species other than kings.
Given that info what weight rod would you recommend? Also, what would you recommend for leaders and backing?
