OKUMAFishing Rod

THE GUIDES ARE MEANT TO BE LIKE THIS. AMAZING ROD! PERFECT FOR MY APPLICATION. I always thought it would be a smart move to spin the guides on a bait cast rod around like this so the line doesn't ever get below the rod bend. Works perfectly as designed. Very light considering it is 11 feet long. If I were to change anything, I would lengthen the butt end by about 2 inches so it is snug under my arm. I actually added to it in order to get the leverage I need to set the hook.

These are great trout rods with alot of backbone. Soft tip to feel all the bites. Okuma did a great job with this one. Got 3 paired with the okuma ceymar and 1 with a shimano stratic. Will be getting one or 2 more. I also use the okuma SST and the Celilo ultralight rods as well. Those are quality rods for a little less money but definitely great for a trout fishing. The gsp handled this 8lber with ease

Flat out woopen stick! I fished this rod with all types of setups. I simply love this rod. It’s extremely sensitive. It’s nice to fish several hours straight remains comfortable. You feel every peck from the smallest fish. It holds up well to larger trout. The construction is excellent quality. No signs of stress cracks. Guides are perfect condition. I nailed a lot of fish. Because I was able to feel the smallest hits the rods action allowed for setting the hook immediately. I’m very pleased and encourage you to buy this rod. It definitely gave me confidence when I hit the water with it. I use a 8lbs braided line with a 5 foot leader of flourcarbon. It did the trick for sure.

This rod broke like a dry twig. Do Not buy! I got screwed on this one. The rod feels nice and light but it is very brittle and weak. DO NOT BUY!

love the slim profile, the flex is awesome and its' 1 piece , i love the looks, the feel the power and the action of this rod , it feel every nibble of the squids or random small fish, have been using it over a 1 year, i loved it too much i bought a second one for spare. price is greater than st croix avid, and st croix dont have the slim profile or the power UL like this one does, it is 761UL , not 761L

These are great rods however they failed to package the one I ordered tightly and it came with the tip broken off. They offered me $35 as a discount; if they would have offered all but $35 I would have gotten it fixed but I shipped it back for a full refund and decided to pick one up at a store for slightly more than they sold this for. I probably won’t trust them to ship me a pole again as it impacted my fishing plans. I went on a guided tour trip on the Solduc and was convinced these poles were comparable to my bobber pole but more price friendly. I put a Stradic 300 on my replacement and am super happy with it. Great rod but be forewarned, they need to package them better.

new to fishing, but caught many salmons without breaking it. I caught some big Chums, cohos, pinks, this rod handles it without any issue.

The rod reeks of quality I'm very impressed with the way it is put together great action and still matians some backbone wonderful products I would buy again

One of the guides came broken
