Title: Okuma Cortez Rods?
Post by: Mrc70 on February 05, 2019, 03:48:22 PM
Anyone using these rods?  Good, bad??  I picked one up at my local tackle shop and it was very light.  For the price I may just buy a couple..

I've had one of the 6' 6" 20-30lbs for several years. It's the 3 piece travel one. I re-wrapped 2 of the guides to give a spiral wrap. Nice budget rod. Your right it is very light but it has coped with Mekong catfish to over 50lbs. I usually fish it with 50lb braid or 25 mono.
