the best rod for the money,
I use surf rods for bank fishing trophy catfish. I’ve paired it with a Penn 750 Slammer spooled with 80 lb. braid. This rod easily chunks my large baits and 4-6oz. weights out where the big ones lurk. Broke this rod in hauling in a 35 lber amongst standing timber and it performed like a champ.
I’ve also owned a 12-footer paired with an Okuma Epixor 80 for about a year and never had a problem with it. The guides, reel seat, and cork handle have all held up well through the use/abuse I’ve put it through. Very satisfied.

|Okuma is great for price,
I own a few salt water Okuma products and they are all inexpensive and very tough. This rod is no exception. I have the 11′ model with 50# braid on a good sized reel for flinging bait and 2oz+ lures and I love it. The slimmer Cork tape handle is great, rods not heavy for size and is well balanced. I handled some nice size fluke and stripers with no problem. It has a nice fast action to it and the price on here beats retail which is always a good thing. Only negative is the shipping package its pitiful. My first rod arrived with a broken eye in a crushed box, My replacement arrived very fast but only by luck was it not ruined. There was a total lack of packing material or support in the box to protect the item. All it would take to fix is a cardboard shipping tube or at least more then one piece of stuffing in the box.

|Finally,
Finally an inexpensive 12 ft. surf rod that casts great and has the backbone to bring in the big ones. I have tried some other rods in this price range and they either were too whippy to cast well or they exploded from the stress of the cast. I would say that these rods are well worth the money and then some. Getting out to where you need to fish is now an easy task and I can really say that I am quite pleased with the 12 ft rods that I purchased.
