Will never understand why split grips and a longer handle arnt more popular. Wanted a bait caster for some of the bigger fish I see on the boat but couldn't find a 2 piece rod anywhere I went so went with this.

Same with catching larger fish. Pulling in a larger fish, stick the butt of the rod in your gut and two hand the reel area. Nice turquoise color.

Okuma rods are tough and also good looking, clients are very happy using them.

Good solid equipment for the money. They have a lot of levels of quality and I have not used any of their entry-level stuff, but the ones I have I really like. www.berniesbearcamp.com https://www.youtube.com/user/BowhuntingRoad/about
