    Just picked up a 9ft Okuma SST -902ha and its awesome. It’s super slim and feels ultra light. the tip loads up perfect with 3/4-1oz lures and I can still throw 2oz Carolinas !

    Awesome vid Edward. It’s always good to get a good rod that doesn’t break the bank. It’s cool to see it preform against other more expensive rods and still hold its own. For anglers that want to get into perch fishing that looks like a great option.

    • @Hook2Cook

    9’6” Daiwa north MH coast or the Kastking Krome 9’6” MH are good for both rigs. Also, central coast steel head 🙌!!!!! That’s amazing, tearing down some of these damns must be working to restore the population.

    Great video.....I use the Okuma 11' M throws 3/4 to 3 oz. I have not had a need to throw a 3 oz. It is sensitive, great back bone, handles large fish with ease and can cast a 110 lure (Calissa and Lucky Craft) between 35 and 40 yards. Under $100.00.

    Ed, another wonderful educational program! It is no wonder you are one of the few with Instructor status @ RBFA. Nice to hear about the Alon having a shorter butt and more comfortable, I will have to look into one of those just for that reason. Nice catch and release on that beauty chrome steelhead. Keep up the great work Ed, we sure enjoy your productions.

    I like my rockaway. It’s a MH 11ft it’s rating is like 12-20 pound, 1/4 to like 2 oz don’t really have it near me right now. It’s a good rod for the price and I can cast it far too. It’s strong enough to handle ( big rays) too (I fish in the SF bay often) . Only down side is the reel seat. All my reels feel loose on it.
