Okuma learned to listen over the past 10 years, perhaps better than any other major manufacturer. Certainly their new product introductions have been right on target, and this series of rods represents the end result of listening to fishermen. In this case, they listened to the guys in Hawaii who wanted reliable, affordable, Japanese quality jigging and popping rods. They wanted a bit more stiffness in the jigging rods, shutting off before the rod's handle area. Pricing is very good, quality excellent. The build makes use of Fuji and ALPS components, 24 ton carbon fiber, skinny, sensitive, super! We're stocking these rods in depth, both the jigging and popping models.
