If you're looking for a new rod in preparation for the salmon season there are a few great buys to be had from the Lemax fold.  Here's a heads up on a couple of the best sellers:

Lemax President Royal

The President Royal would be the most popular and best value Lemax rod for targeting salmon.  Depending on whether you're using lures or lobbing baits and waiting for the fun to start the 9-12 ft rods (RRP $165-$235) are the ones you want to look at.

The rods have a split butt which is a bit longer for better casting, light enough to cast all day, rated for lures from 100g (rated slightly heavy IMO), Lemax custom SiC guides and graphite reel seat.

Lemax Blue Mountain

If you like fishing a bit lighter the 9ft Blue Mountain (RRP $210) is rated for lures to 60g and these rods have a lot of grunt built into them and they look pretty neat too.

The rods have a slightly shorter butt than the President Royal, are light enough to cast all day, Lemax custom SiC guides and graphite reel seat.

Lemax Platinum

The 9-12ft Platinum rods come in spin or overhead models for those who prefer the variety.  They're rated for lures from 60g up depending on the length.

RRP ranges between $185 and $230.

If you don't mind going a bit shorter there are some fantastic rods in the 8ft range - the Black Rose, Storm Legend and Red Sword are all tested and rated rods.
