Hello all, Any suggestions for affordable pink spinning setups thanks.

[hrenya]

I guess right now lead + hook with wool or heavy buzzbomb

Go to Berry's they have pink salmon spinning setups starting at $69 with line. 8.5' with a 4000 reel on it.

Depends on your method of fishing.  If you're fishing somewhere with slow/no current all you need is a basic spinning setup to throw spoons or whatever your preferred lure may be.  I use a 6'6 Ugly Stick and an Abu Garcia Cardinal neither of which cost me more than $50.

If you are spinning in the  lower Fraser any $30 to $50 combo at Army ad Navy or Canadian tire will likely suffice for pinks. In the chuck the salt water may do a number on the reel.

For $25 I'll sell you a Shimano Stradic & a Daiwa rod 8' or so-all you need/downtown Vancouver.

thanks for the info guys does anybody know if army and navy put line on reels because i was planning on hit the mouth of the capilano after

[Salmon__Slayer]

thank you for the info

Don't get anything less then 8' if your casting from shore, it will help for casting distance. add some 20lb braid and the 6'6" rod guys will watch with envy when you cast to the school, and they are about 20' short lol

20lbs is overkill , I use 10 lbs braid , and have 2 rods 7-0 and 10-0 . not too much diffirence between  casting them . I doubt you can beat me with 8+ rod and 20lbs braid vs my 7 foot .

Ya, I can beat you. Haha

20lb so I get my spinner or spoon back from a snag. 10lb can't open hooks.

[Salmon__Slayer]

i think ill go with 15 lb braid lol

[Salmon__Slayer]

i have a 10 ft meaduim heavy okuma rod that could land any fish in bc rivers but i tried fishing for pinks last year and its hard to cast out to schools

why fish in snaggy area ? I spent quiete a lot of time checking fraser on low tides .... for last 2 months I lost 1 spoon and it was at Seymour mouth , none at fraser . if you afraid of snags I can borrow you my sturgeon rod 12 feet and 100lbs line ))
