Salmon trolling rod selection

Okay, first I would like to appologize for posting a question that I see has been posted many times before. That being said, I have read through every post concerning my question, in an attempt to narrow my selection down. The issue I run into is that some of the rods suggested cannot be found on the site anymore. XCC 1063 DR???? XCF 903?????

I would simply like a short list of rods that would work for trolling, both on down rigger as well as herring, hootchie, and super plug trolling. The two I have found that are closest to what I am looking for are CG 90 DR and XCC 934. Any other suggestions before I make a final choice.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, at the price point of the Classic Glass I am going to try one. I see a few being sold by distributors at about half of retail, I know how to tell if it is a second, but should anybody besides the factory be selling seconds?
