The Trophy Titan CP rod is also in and around that 250 mark depending on where you get it from. I just got a 3113 and am looking forward to breaking it in, since my dad took back his custom Sage 3113lb

I have the Amundsen 8-17, 10"6".  Found it to be an excellent entry level CP rod, and a much better rod than the Fenwick.  I have an extra one if you're interested in it.

I'd be interested, could you send me a pm with the details and a price. Thanks

Another nice rod in the same price range as the lami is the Loomis GL2. I have an 8-12 moderate action that I use as my backup rod. Fished it hard for a full year while I was picking parts for my last build. The only downside is the tip section is single foot eyelets so if you bushwhack, there's a higher risk of damaging them.
If you can save another 50-100$$ to get you into a 250-300$$ rod, you will be much happier. There's some nice rods come up in the buy sell sometimes.

Love love love my 3113lb. It makes me giggle just thinking about it. I bet more guys prefer the MB but that soft butt section....

Spot on. You will save more $ in the long run if you squirrel away a little bit more to get a used 3106 or 3113. Check CL or the buy n sell here.

Was looking at the G Loomis GL2, like the rod, which model should I be looking for? None of them say Centerpin? Where can I purchase the 3113?

I believe the Loomis I have is the 1264. I'm on my days in so can't check for a couple more weeks. It's moderate action med power 10'6 8-12lb test.

I just think 8-12lb might be too light for fishing chum.

I have contacted Rod about that talon but I am awaiting a response.
Edit: Someone beat me to it.

Too bad, That is a good rod (3 power ) and it fit your budget.

My daily coho rod is a GL3 1263 rated 8-12 (I think) and it can be bit light if you are going to specifically target chum.

I have caught many chum on that rod and it’s more or less fine, but the bigger ones can take you for a bit of a ride and sometimes you want just a little more backbone than that rod can provide.

In my very humble opinion, if you mostly target coho with the incidental chum or spring, then 8-12lb is very nice and no need go heavier.  If you are regularly into the bigger species then definitely go up a step or two in line rating as that would not be the best tool for the job.

Thanks guys.
How's this rod?
11749-01   SAR 1363 BC GL2  11' 4"  C  2  12 - 20  3/8 - 2  Fast  Med-Heavy  $320.00 
Its a G. Loomis SAR1363BC, its a mooching style rod it says, does that mean it will work on centerpin too?
I will be targeting all species of salmon and steelhead, will this heavier rod(12-20) be fine for coho?
I am worried that this rod will be too heavy for coho, so it will be a bigger fish only rod?
Somebody is selling this G Loomis Rod, in like new condition, used twice for $190.
Should I pull the trigger?

I have this rod and I like it. I use it for springs and chum. It's a bit heavy for coho but as an overall rod it's good and that's a pretty good price. Considering the difference in size between all salmon, finding a perfect rod is really tough to do.

[Humpy]

It says on the G Loomis website that this is a Mooching Rod, can it be used on the centerpin?
