Status: offline 		Hi everyone. I am new to steelhead fishing and plan on taking a trip up to the Erie tribs shortly. I need some help. I know these are dumb questions, but I'm a beginner and need to start somewhere. What length and action/power rod should I use? What pound test line should I use? What baits and lures work best?

Thanks!

Status: offline 		st croix has top notch rod repair services. 
slammed one of mine in the car door coming home from erie last march, i had it back in about a week and a half.

you have to mail it out to their main outlet in wisconsin, they fix it themselves, you can't take it to a dealer of the rods.
if the break was the rods fault, it's free.  in my case, i had to pay 50 bucks.
