Okuma Tundra Durable Glass Surf Spinning Rods - Saltwater Fishing Rod for Surf Casting, Beach & Pier Fishing - Heavy Duty Spinning Rod for Striped Bass, Redfish & Surf Species

Liked the Packaging...came well protected with lots of Brown paper. One minor Nick on the top pole. Feels good on the hands. Got this one for Surf Fishing. Where I live the Waves are high, so I have to cast Far. Got the 13'. Will have to wait for rain to pass, then I'll post performance critique. But, for now I love it. The bottom Guide Folds down...a bit stiff at first. I see why the Apoxide Cracked. Put Zip ties on each end. This will give you added protection from Guide coming off. Folding down the Guide is a bit Stiff, causing apoxide to Crack.UPDATE...Love it. Went Surf Fishing. Man can this 13 footer cast. Long cast...using Braid. No issues with the Rod, out performed more expensive Rods. You will get a workout. Update...Got the Ten Footer. It's beautiful. Not a Scratch. Surprisingly Flawless, No packaging just a plastic bag. Will put it to work this Weekend.
