Dedicated salmon combo

 what are your recomendations of mid/high end reels just for targeting salmon? i was thinking biomaster 4000. I usually catch them on flickys and my stella 6k, but i want like a mid reel.

 Well it all depends on how much you want to give the salmon a fighting chance. Seen people catch them on the cheapest and crapiest combos. I myself generally use a 5000 Stradic with a 7ft rod as it suits me well to make them do some aerobatics.

 My combo is Hearty Rise Sylphy, 7'6, and Diawa Certate 2500.  Powerful rod and great fun. Certate handles the salmon nicely

 assassin Amia and diawa sol 2 3000 is what I'm using 21lb gossen braid great mid range set up I think diawa has replaced the sol this year with the ballistic maybe?

I like the fast 6.2 retrieve on the diawa as well but this might not be so important for salmon

 FWA 9ft Extreme rod and 5000 series Okuma V System reel with 20lb fire line was doing the job easily for me before I had to go back to work.

A Daiwa Lateo 7'6" 4-8kg rod with a Daiwa steez 3000 and 15lb line on the beach - awesome combo. The steez replaced a certate which was a good reel also but the steez is so light and smooth I can walk and cast all day. Would've well over 100 salmon on this outfit.

From the boat - anything really. Usually my 2500 certate with a GL3 loomis.
