stocking Okuma rods? We never have before 2009
simply because they never fit into our mix,
didn't match our
ideas of what a quality saltwater rod should be.
But, with recent changes in this firm's
orientation and product development we've seen
some innovative products that truly represent
positive advancements in design. There are
certain products Okuma manufactures that fill
niche applications very well, and represent
things worth owning. In my mind, their travel
rods are the prime example. Never have we seen a
nicer moderate duty saltwater travel rod.
There's nothing available that comes close to
what these rods can accomplish for the globe
trotting angler. Same sort of tale with the
Kayak rods, darn good ideas! Pricing for what's
offered by this manufacturer is very reasonable. Much as some of
Okuma's reels now meet the demands of serious
saltwater anglers, so too for several of the
rods these folks manufacture.

Cedros Jigging Rods
If you are seeking a rod designed for vertical
jigging, then the Cedros Speed Jig Rods are well worth your
consideration. Designed with a unique flex-to-power distribution,
these rods allow your rod tip to work your jig properly while
developing the proper transition between the shock of a fish's
strike and rod power for bringing a fish to the rail (differing from
a well known bicycle manufacturer's noodle sticks - which don't have
backbone). Extensive innovation was created into the design of this
rod, producing comfort with spiral shaped EVA foregrips and an open
rear grip, allowing you to work the rod without hanging up on your
clothing to interfere
with
the action you are trying to impart on the jig. Once you put a reel
on your Cedros
rod you'll see why they truly are very worthy jig rods - regardless
of price.
Features
- E-Glass rod blank construction for
 increased
power and shock reduction for use with braided line.
- Hardened Zirconium PVD coated guide inserts that reduce line
friction from braided lines.
- Hi-Rise 316 stainless steel guide frames eliminates the line from
touching the blank and foregrip when fully loaded up on a fish and
increases durability.
- Pyramid machined aluminum reel seat is the ultimate in comfort,
durability and control. (ALPS REEL SEAT)
- Exposed blank reargrip increases rod control and improves jigging
technique.
- Jig Clincher - eliminates the jig from swinging when attached to
the hook keeper.
All rods feature a split EVA butt section, with two of the heavier
rods also offering a gimbal butt.
Baidarka Kayak Rods
 The Baidarka Kayak Rods
are more than a strange name and product tied together to offer the
same old stuff to a personal boaters. This is a rod well designed as
a niche series of rods made with specific benefit to a particular
application. Kayak fishing is gaining in popularity,
 it's
fun, productive, great way to be immersed in nature, and relatively
cheap to operate. The Baidarka rods offer some refined innovation,
and is the first truly purpose built series of Kayak rods. These
rods were designed by kayak anglers for kayak anglers. There are
several patent pending innovations on these rods, such as shortened
rod butts, positive floatation (yes, if you dump the rod/reel
overboard it will float!), a built in leash attachment point,
hardened double foot guides...all well considered design innovations
to meet the unique needs of folks kayak fishing. The rods are also
designed to put up with the harsh abuse that this sport can dish
out.

 Nomad
Travel Rods
We've been getting
requests from folks looking for good offshore
rods, that can travel easily - for
years. Unfortunately,
there really haven't been any produced that
were up to snuff (with the exception of Penn's
discontinued light line Travel Rods). There
has never been an offshore capable travel rods
made to fish the heavier line tests we're most
apt to need, you know, the basic stuff like 20-50# class
casting rods. They were not made.
Well, Okuma created a
series of travel
 rods
that will make breezing through high security
airports tolerable, cut "oversize" charges
from the bill, and provide you with some
quality gear that can deal
with larger version
saltwater fish. Remember all those times you
went fishing at a distant shore, only to find
the equipment deficient? Well, now you can
come prepared! These are effective fishing
rods for typical offshore fishing.
There are several unique
features these rods incorporate for your
advantage. The first thing I noticed is that
these three piece rods come with an extra tip
section!
 With the added tip, you can now fish
two different line tests from the same rod.
Or, you can change up your action to match
your particular style for the day's fishing.
Nice thought guys! Unlike many multi piece
rods which simply won't stand up to the
pressure a saltwater fish can provide, these
rods use a European Spigot Ferrule connection
between sections of the rod. This is stronger,
and provides a one-piece feel when fishing.
It's a bit harder to put the pieces together,
but it's the right design for what we're doing
here. You also get an ALPS aluminum reel seat.
This is an expensive piece of rod building componetry, and is testament to the rods
overall quality and sense of purpose. .
No
more relying on whatever gear is at hand
when you go on exotic fishing trips.
With the Nomad Travel Rod series by
Okuma, now you can pack your own rods
with ease as you head out on ANY fishing
adventure.
Essentially two rods in one, each Nomad
Travel Rod comes with two seperate tip
sections that provide distinctly
different actions, but through the use
of the European Spigot Ferrule
connection points, the rods have an
accurate and true "One-Piece" feel and
action.

CharkBait
Rod Socks
Our Chark-Sleeves are
a bit different than the one's above. They are
available in three sizes. The base of the
sleeve folds up onto the butt section of the
rod and then can be tied off. So, one size can
fit shorter rods with no problem. They are
made of 89% polyester and 11% lycra (like OJ's
gloves if you remember...). The material is
versatile, durable and quick drying. It's
super stretchy, and the micro polyester fabric
wicks away moisture - like those $60 golf
shirts. Nice product, nice price! These will
stretch up to one foot longer in length. So, a
5' will indeed fit a 6' rod, the 7 will
stretch to a tight 8.
