The self proclaimed "Greatest rods on earth." Well...2nd time using it trolling and it snapped on me. I have lesser cheaper rods that hold up and have held up better than this rod. Complete shock when it snapped. 10'6" salmon trolling rod. Hopefully they warranty it. Sonce I just bought it this year as a present for my girl since it is the 1st purple rod I coukd find. Wont be buying another after the way this one broke.

I am a full time charter captain and fishing guide. I have been using downriggers for controlled depth fishing for over 30 years, I am using the Onchor 10'6" for my charter operation in Puget Sound, just out of Seattle, WA.

These rods are absolutely incredible, They load very well when put under pressure from the downrigger. When loaded up and trolling for salmon, the tip is very sensitive and allows me to see those light bites from undersize salmon. The Onchor rods have features I really like such as the double locking reel seat. I like the Integrated rear rubber handle bumper. It does not seem to wear down like other rod brands, from constant in and out from the rod holder. The Seaguide THOOK keeper is excellent for stowing the gear and making runs to our fishing spots.

I also use these same rods for fishing bottom fish such as Lingcod. They are very sensitive for those lights bites. It absolutely helps my clients hook into more fish!

I chose the 10'6" model because I run a large boat with twin outboard motors. This length rod allows my clients to negotiate the offshore bracket and engines with a fish just prior to netting.

I depend on these rods for my clients success on the water!
