Okuma Fishing Longitude Surf Heavy Rod, 10 ft

UPDATE 5/11 I requested a new pole be sent out, the new pole was in 10/10 shape. Definitely recommend. Only took 2 days to get to me. First review. The poll overall is very solid. Lightweight yet sturdy, you can tell the quality is there. The whole rod looks slick and very eye-catching. I have not fished with cork handles in over 25 years so, I can't say how will feel or not. Being lightweight it does feel great to hold. The CON is simple whoever is over-quality control, and order fulfillment goes back to training.

Muy buena caña para la pesca de surfcasting..llego antes de lo esperado ya la probé y tiene un buen tamaño para tirar desde la orilla.

good value.light to handle. slightly weak with casting a long distance possibly because it has no forefinger handle & because it overbends with a cast ( so don't use > 4 oz sinker) but not a big issue. used it on 2 fishing trips to a fishing pier in Galveston TX: 1- caught a 40 lb black drum, handled very well extreme pressure, even though I pushed it & got the fish in 3-4 min so constant heavy pressure with an agressive fish that was not tired yet.It looked like a C with that fish, occasionally the tip was close to touching the rod above the reel & never broke.(impressive to say the least) 2- an 8 pound red fish handled with ease. several sand trouts in both trips. that showed that it's sensitive to strikes even with smaller fish I threw back (< 1 lb). in summary this rod is good for medium heavy fishing(off pier), may be less than 50 lbs with a medium sized sinker.

I LOVE this rod. I use it for crab snaring and it's a beast. The rod is rated for 3-8 oz and can throw 3 ozs pretty far out but it ALSO has enough backbone that I was able to effectively cast 17oz of weight with it without fear of it snapping. It isn't the lightest rod, its a bit stiff, and the butt is very long but it is sturdy, dependable, and has a ton of backbone. It is a perfect rod for a beginning crabbing setup. I have it paired with a Penn battle 3 6000 and it feels pretty balanced. It would also pair nicely with an 8000 size reel for crabbing. I assume it would also be effective for heavy tackle surf fishing as well.

El producto llegó en muy buenas condiciones a pesar del gran tamaño que es. Estoy muy contento, y lo recomiendo ampliamente.
