>>796781>entry-mid level spinning reelCheck out the Pfluerger President. The "30" size would be nice for what you are thinking of. It is a tiny bit smaller than most "medium" sizes but larger than an ultralight. I have one and run 15lb PowerPro braid. That might be the answer for your trout and salmon deal.
It's on a 6'6" medium weight, fast action rod. With the 15lb braid and that rod, I can easily cast 1/8oz lures like small Rapalas and Mepps and it can handle 1/2oz crankbaits and spinners. It is fun to catch 10" Mayans and 5lb bass with.
Pic related is the setup I was talking about. That's actually the President LE which is $80, but the regular President will be a silver/blue reel body and runs $60 US. The "35" size is pretty big so I would look for the "30" with your purpose in mind. Anything smaller than that might not have the drag for a big salmon, even with heavier braided line. Very solid reel for the money and everybody who has owned one seems to reccommend them.
