  1. I would go with an okuma sst kokanee rod,they come in 7 or 71/2 foot ..

    We use 6-10 lb test line on them and love it..Most of our salmon and trout in maine are 1 1/2-5 lbs and these rods make it fun..use small line counter reels with mono or we even use 12lb leadcore on the 7 1/2 footers with no prob ( 5 colors)..All the other rods mentioned are good choices but I think you will like the light action of these..they have a trigger and the graphite rod blank is exposed on your finger and you feel everything..under 50$

  2. I  have two seagates with 300' of 30lb copper and 700'of 50lb power pro braid for backing....

    I use Albright knots for backing and flouro leader but I don't like shrink tubes I prefer a drop or two of knot glue..

    Works great for me..

     

    Be patient with copper if this is your first time using it,takes a little getting used to.Take your time letting line out and stick with one copper set up till you get comfortable with it. One feisty king can make a mess of your coppers and divers quick !!
