I was initially excited to put this rod to use on some local crappies and perch as it had a nice balance and feel to it. On my very first cast the rod broke about 20" from the top, using 4lb mono and a 1/8oz beetle spin.
Looking around on the internet it seems that the tip section breaking without any abuse to the rod happens with some regularity on this particular model. Perhaps there was a bad production run of these rods, I don't know. Not sure what is going on with their quality control as Okuma used to be decent gear.
Calling Okuma's customer service line was a joke. I gave up after being on hold for more than 30 minutes. And be forewarned, if you do get ahold of a human and they give you a return authorization, that's only to ship the broken rod to them. They'll want you to pay $19.95 for shipping the replacement rod to you.
- Poor quality
- Nice bend for fighting fish.
- A faster tip might help with casting distance.
