I think the 1314 is the Kenai Special, right? It's way too heavy for steelhead, and the 300 Curado is too big for my taste, too.

I'd get the XCF 801 or the 7'6'' Rogue River special for plugs. For a steelhead float rod and reel, you really can't do any better than the Certified Pro 9'6'' spinning rod - X96js. It works as a drift rod as well.
