Very nice rod, matched with an avet mxl raptor, ran into some yellow tail and most of the fish I hooked were 15-20lbs so they didn't really taxe the rod or reel.
Upgraded all my rods and reels to PCH series and avet reels.

I love the rod and got it at a good price. The shipping was fast. Look forward to buying more fishing supplies from this supplier.

This rod is absolutely beautiful and a complete tank! I will definitely be ordering more.

Well done! Surprising how light and sturdy it is. Perfect to pair with a Talica 20ii. Thanks Okuma!!

76M paired with an SX. Great light setup with excellent components. Underwrapped K guides, Alps seat, TPE grips, a lot of value.

Exactly what I've come to expect from Okuma. Nice components, nice execution, blank feels responsive. It is a little heavier than I expected thickness wise, but, I like it.

Bought this rod for local Yellowtail and it is amazing. The parabolic bend takes so much strain off your back and for price it can't be beat.

Very lightweight with a lot of backbone. Bottom fishing for rockfish and lingcod in 200 to 300 ft with Okuma Cavalla 2 speed 16 Narrow is as light as you can get. Plenty sensitive and
again the backbone is there to lift doubleheader 6 lb rockfish over the rail with no strain. Really enjoy the sensitivity matched with the overall strength. Boasts additional longitudinal strength and it is certainly there. The extra diamond external wrap ensures non collapsing rod bend throughout. Inspires confidence. Very comfortable outfit. Featherweight but its all I need.
Have no doubt it can handle yellowtail if need be. Like a Mazda Miata, light, fun, able and responsive.

My dad bought this rod for me for my birthday, and I Absolutely love this rod, I paired it up with a Avet sjx raptor, for bottom fish and calicos it slays them, five out of five Seal of approval

Just got back from a bluefin trip. I used the pch xxx boat rod and a makira 15T. Its an incredible set up and I landed a 113 lb fish. To be very honest the rod was to stiff for this size fish and the reel was a little to far forward do to a long butt. I was going back and forth from belt to rail. I think if I used the 1x it would have put more pressure on the fish. Also, I pulled a hook with a J, stiff rods and braid dont mesh. Now that said the rod is incedible and a beast for the money. Just need to used it on bigger fish. I'm cutting my butt down a little to, just personal preference. Since the rod wouldnt bend I bit could bend my body back, always hunched over, a major broom stick. Can't imagine the 4x?

This is just a very solidly built rod for the price. Lighter than the traditional West Coast rods I've fished with, but still casts well for an all-graphite rod. The high-quality Alps and Fuji components are a huge plus.

For the Components and Technology put into this Rod resulted in a High Performance Rod with an Incredible Price Point!

Felt like and Perform close to a United Composite rod Minus the Pricey Tag. Lighter than a Daiwa Proteus Rod and Way Cheaper than a Phenix Rod.

Another Winner from OKUMA like their MAKAIRA Reels!

So if you are not up to the UC Rod, I highly recommend the PCH over the other Brand.

Bought this rod for YT and Rock fishing.
Very well made for under $200 price range.

The PCH custom is an awesome rod at a great price. The materials, construction, components, and finish of this rod is something you would see in a rod at twice the price. I used my PCH 8ft Heavy to fly line bait, bottom fish and cast surface jigs. It really handled it all very well. It is also very light weight and has a ton of back bone for fighting bonitas and yellowtail. Its tip is also sensitive and I could feel and see the tip bounce as bottom fish would be nibbling or striking my bait and jigs.

Couldnt be happier the rod is beautieful performs well in all conditions. Havent sinked into a monster yet to truly test its strenght but soon. Shipping was exact on date and time so pleased all around.
