I started with an amundson 2116M 11'6 2 power CP 10-17lb.  It is a good starting rod.  You can feel the headshake but not too noodle and definitely has no problem with big fish like a spring.

X2, great entry level CP rod..

I have the same reel and its just great. Can't speak for the rod...

I bought an Okuma Aventa from a fella on this forum and I love it. It works like charm.
Naturally I took me some time to get it right, but once I figured it out it's smooth sailing.
I wouldn't buy that rod, it's way too light.

For a starter rod, would you consider a KUFA? I've got an 11'3" diamondback with an eBay Aventa ($92 delivered from NY a bunch of years ago), and it's great, but KUFA seems to have some nice stuff. Anyone?

I dont know what kufa is.  i like dealing with company that is local and has a great warranty service.  company like amundson, if you have problem, they will replace your item without a charge or for a very small fee.

i believe shimano used to do that but i think they moved its warranty service east coast and you have to send it in.

KUFA is local. That's one reason why I like to support them. Check them up online. Many stores carry them.

Obie - Im interested in a Kufa spinning rod I checked out on their site. Do you know who carries their stuff near Langley. they don't list their dealers on their website

Nice to see another dealer local.  But I don't think they have any CP rods.

My first setup is the above Amundson rod with a 4.5" Don Campbell bushing reel. I really like it. Ive had it out a couple times to practice casting and I enjoy it.

If you really want something cheap just to try it out, I think the Amundson Steelhead Tracker Reel is a good bang for your buck at only $149. Pair that up with a Fenwick Canadian Methods Rod and you're under $230. I can't speak for any of these, but at that price, its kind of a no brainer....
