Alright guys, I just picked up my Pflueger 6940, spooled it with Suffix PB 30lb and got a better Salmon Rod, ST. Croix Wild River Rod, 7'6", Fast action. I'm so excited, this is gonna be my first trip to Alaska, 2 full weeks of fishing, Kodiak Island, Denali, Homer and Palmer along with several other small towns. Gonna be Salmon an Trout hunting with my dad, gonna be a great week. May isn't the BEST time to go there but still, plenty of fish are to be caught. Who here has been to Alaska?
