The Scimitar Kokanee Trolling series is a two-piece rod line built for trolling spoons, blades, and crankbaits for kokanee and salmon species. The blanks carry medium-light power and a moderate action throughout the lineup, rated for 4-10 lb mono and lure weights from 1/4 to 1 oz. Extended fore and rear grips made from carbon tube material help balance the longer blanks while keeping overall weight low.
Titanium Oxide guides run the full length of each rod, improving casting distance and resisting the abrasion associated with braided lines. Both models share the same power, action, and guide specifications, differing only in overall length. The 2-piece configuration on both rods breaks down for transport and storage without adding weight penalties.
At $49.99, the Scimitar Kokanee Trolling rods occupy an accessible price point within Shimano's salmon and steelhead catalog. The series is built for anglers who troll kokanee reservoirs and want a dedicated rod handling the technique's moderate load requirements without investing in a higher-tier blank.

A closer look at notable models.
The 7-foot model is the shorter of the two Scimitar Kokanee Trolling rods. At 7'0" with medium-light power and moderate action, it fits compact boat setups or shorter rod holders. Line rating is 4-10 lb mono with lure weights from 1/4-1 oz. The 10.8-inch rear grip and 2.2-inch foregrip are shared across both models in the series.
The 7'6" version adds 6 inches of length over the SMCT70ML2C, providing additional rod-tip sweep during trolling passes and extended reach when deploying lures. Power, action, line, and lure weight ratings are identical to the 7-foot model. The added length can help spread lines in multi-rod trolling configurations with less risk of tangling.
