I have two 8'6" rods I had a friend make for me that are salmon-steelhead rods, one is med. lite action the other is med, action, both fast tips. I also use them for crappie and walleye - saugeye besides salmon fishing
I also have a couple of 9'6" rods that are med. lite action, and work fine. I would not use them for bass fishing or something I need a good hard fast hook set on. They work fine for crappie , salmon- steelhead .I mainly use them for crappie bobber fishing sinve i fish from the bank. The longer rod helps me catch up slack on windy days and also I use a lot of weighted fixed bobbers so with the longer rod I can fish it pretty much as deep as I want along the bank.
