what type of swimbaits you plan on throwing with the 7'11 okuma?? you wont beable to chuck bbz's or huds to heavy for that rod. you will need a heavier model .

i recomend a crucial heavy or xh. i use a med heavy crucial which recomends 3-5in baits but i throw bbz, hudds, lunkerpunkers, 10in triple trouts with no probs. i am getting the next level which is for 5-8in baits. good luck finding one you like.




God Bless

I thought those rods retail for under $100. Just go pick one up at the store.

How about ordering it from tacklewarehouse? When do you need it by?
Maybe you could overnight it?
