Just to add up big+ for those rods is that they are both extra light so after long day fishing they don't dislocate your shoulder
Not sure if you're aware this pic is in negative?
I have Shimano Clarus 13" and Streamside Steelhead Special Edition 13" and they are excellent rods for the money.
Shimano $100.00
Streamside 120.00
Streamside is better for winter time because of over sized rings as far handling fish.Somebody said that that Shimano does not have backbone, well i was taking 28-30 lb chinooks with no problem yes it may take it bit longer to land them but for steelhed they are perfect.
How many pieces is your clarus. cause one was an excellent rod, built on gloomis. and the new one with more pieces is the too whippy one. maybe that is our misunderstanding.
Also yes you can land big fish, but other people have to wait 30 minutes for you to do so and waste half their fishing day lol. i find taking too long on a fish is disrespectful to other fishermen and not good for the fish.
Clarus is 4 piece not whippy at all ,actulay i find that Streamside is more whippy then Clarus .
Well as for taking 30 min to take fish out you are right but i use samll leader 4lb. so after couple minutes of playing with the beast i just break off, i also use barbless hooks just a little of jig and fish comes off and runs free unharmed.I'm talking about salmon here but for steelhead under 10lb it does not take long time to land at all.
he is starting his CP experience with salmon in august. he is preparing for everything. and yes i agree with you on soft rod and light leader. but not for salmon, not fun on cp reel., specially if you are new to it. gets boring and annoying after a while in my personal experience.

Who is starting his CP experience in August? CatFish?
You like fishing and respect fishing and take it as the ultimate challenge, which explains your 4lb leader on salmon. but as a new person, he will want to land a lot and gain some confidence, learning experience and enjoyment out of it. snapping salmon after salmon on 4lb is very frustrating, more so cause the salmon seldom hit. and if you snag them in the tail, definitely good luck lol.
I started salmon fishing with 4.5 raven leader and i learned the hard way, but my rod was ultra light with very slow tip and i landed a few after 30 minutes within few years, and that was not even CP reel, it was a spinning reel.
losing a fish to some one new to that type of fishing is not same as lost fish to someone that has caught 50, unless it was a unique or trophy fish. personally i have not fished for salmon over 10 years. I will this year, cause now i have a mission to cure roe as good as AS, if not, at least plump and clear with the red dots in it. so i need roe lol.
Yes, CatFish is starting his journey.
Agreed and yes you are absolutely right! Well good luck to him i wish he gets the big ones. He will have alot of fun when he gets his first torpedo
I still remember my firs, don't we all
Talking about roe i have best recipe for curing roe! I will PM you. Got to work now. hahaha
salmon arent that hard on a CP. Sometimes you get the super hot fish that you dont stand a chance with but I landed quite a few salmon this season in less than 5 minutes on a 4-8lb 13'4 rod. RIGHT IN THE MOUF!
