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.

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.

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 :)))
