The only thing I could think

The only thing I could think of would be the XCF806. It would be a bit heavy fo coho but would be good for chinook and tuna.

If your going for Albies, you

If your going for Albies, you can probably get away with the 803, any other tuna except a skipjack or other small species will eat it alive, otherwise the 806 is the rod. A downrigger rod is designed to be nothing like a trolling rod for salmon or tuna. The two listed rods are about as optimum as you going to get.

No one knows as much as all of us.
