So I had so much trouble fishing for pinks with my wife. Always never casting far enough, heavy rods,etc.
So did the same thing you are doing with research and then talked to Andrew at Searun tackle. he recommended a rod/reel combo and I have never looked back! As well, no longer do I have to do all the maintenance on my wife's miscasts. In fact, we were outcasting most other fishers by a country mile. And for cohoes in the pools at the Vedder, awesome.
So the rod is a Shimano-css-90m2b-Claris, 9ft.
Line weight8-12lb
Lure weight 3/8-3/4oz
Action fast, Im-8 graphite construction

Reel is  Penn Feirce 2000 loaded with Nanofil line( no memory)
My wife's rod is aFenwick eagle mfs-2 8'6" medium fast 3/8-1oz lure 8-15lb line. 01g14bk
Hope this helps
