OKUMASalmon/Steelhead Rod

I have been using it for everything. Great in bigger rivers and also great in the bay.

I generally love this rod. I have the 8'6 and the 9 footer medium heavy. This review is about the 9 footer. I use it for casting from the beach for snook, big jacks and tarpon. My only problem and the reason it's not getting 5 stars is the line snags on the tip often and the guides bend too easily. I'm scared when I bend them back they're gonna snap off at one point. I'm not very rough with this rod, but I do keep it in the bed of my truck and so on. The slightest amount of pressure bends these guides.

overall the pole great. plenty of backbone on the rod. i wish it came in a heavy also. i have a 8'6" heavy and it's great with one exception the top part of the rod is always loose and comes off sometimes when casting. was a simple fix with surf wax but have to apply on every use. the 9' gives me a little more distance and is a little more sensitive; 6 " more in length give a little more play.

Good quality rod, especially for the that price . I really recommend for this rod

I received only one part of the fishing rod, I do not recommend it.

I used this 9’ medium heavy to cast 3oz and 5 oz lead sinkers fishing for Redfish in Port Aransas. It easily handled the 35” Bull Red I landed on the jetty.
