So, I have recently gotten into fishing, and I would love to get a pole and reel that will handle the weight of larger fish, such as salmon. Most freshwater fish that I catch is about 2-8 lbs, mostly landlock salmon or trout. I am wondering, how do I go about measuring the weight capacity of the pole/reel, and where would be the best place to look? I am in the Seattle area if that helps. Oh, and perhaps a boat, something that stores easily. I am not ready to go all gunho about this yet, but for this season i would like to at least find something to enjoy the fishing once in a while in. THANKS!!!
