Hate how much I love this rod
August 7, 2022
I keep using this rod over my st croix and odm's bc of how amazing light they are.

No joke, these things are so comfortable to fish alllll day.

The medium rods have a very sensitive tip, but haven't had any issues pulling big 14in+ scup over the rails at the pier.

Pros
  • Portable 50/50 split
  • Ultra lightweight
  • Very good construction/materials
  • Feels expensive
  • Excellent travel surf rod
Cons
  • Had some glue left of guides from factory I had to take off.
  • Med rods may be underpowered for big fish like bull blues

Best bang for the buck

I have tons of high end surf rods but you can’t beat these for bait and wait surf rods. At an affordable price, you can find anything else on the market that can beat these. Just know these rods do feel like they run light, i have ML rods that feel like ML but I also own MH rods that feel like Medium power only.
Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • None

Good option for surf fishing pompano rigs with 4 oz weights

Best 12’ 1-4oz surf rod for pompano
April 18, 2022
Finally got to use my rod this weekend and slayed the pomps. Handled 4oz easy. Light enough action that fishing for pomps was fun. Most 12’ rods are rated too heavy in power for pomps. Pairs perfectly with a 5000 or 6000 reel. I have it paired with a new Saltist MQ and now my favorite pair. Bought a second rod today.
Pros
  • Price, build, weight

Super lightweight 10' rod!
I have it paired with a Penn Fierce III 4000 live liner and 20lb braid.
It's a very sensitive tip that should be great for fishing in the back bays during the spring season..
Pros
  • Paired with a light reel and line this should be easy to cast and fish all day long.
  • Sturdy enough to handle stripers and blues.

Excellent rod
February 26, 2022
I bought two of these 10 ft MH rods for surf fishing in Ft. Laudardale. I am not a surf fisher, so I did not want to spend too much money on rods and I thought these will do. Oh boy I had great fishing with these rods and they were as good as much more expensive rods. Very light but strong while very sensitive. You can feel the smallest bite but I also caught a good size Permit with it and had a great fight with this rod. Don't be fooled with the price tag, they are great rods for any use on any species…
Pros
  • Quality for this price...
Cons
  • None

Comes as advertised
February 19, 2022
Very Very light and good feel. Great value bought on Sale 89.99. Was shipped in a very durable container that cost extra. Paired nicely with new Stradic.
Pros
  • Light and inexpensive
Cons
  • Would have preferred a metal reel seat.

Very Pleasantly Surprised
December 22, 2021
After much internal debate (me, myself, & I) it boiled down to you can never have too much if you love what you do. 1st time surf fishing the gulf and this pole suited my needs of these once yearly trips and the Summer Michigan trips to the beaches and piers.
Second Okuma purchase and not disappointed as it's well made and balances out well with my Ceymar C-55 reel.
FYI, The Tackle Direct Staff were extremely knowledgeable and helpful answering the few questions I had via email and chat. A far better service than provided by the big box stores.
I did reserve the purchase of terminal tackle to the local shops in order to gain additional knowledge and insight. This paid off well.
Pros
  • Like my other Okuma which is ten plus years old, it seems very well built with attention to details.
Cons
  • Nothing of note.

Good surf rod
December 19, 2021
Very good rod for striped bass, bluefish, even Black Fish from the rocks on the surf, it has good backbone to pull them out. It has soft wiggly tip to cast far far away.
Pros
  • Casting distance and back bone.
Cons
  • Nothing

Awesome for the money

I honestly don’t have a ton of experience with super expensive surf rods but I really can’t tell the difference between this one and the others I’ve tried. Loads very nicely and will throw 100yds even with heavy braid when loaded properly. Sensitive enough to see the bumps from bait thieving crabs.
Pros
  • Easy to cast log distance
  • Super strong backbone but sensitive tip
  • Handles heavy braid
Cons
  • Finish is minimal
