Probably The Best Salmon + Do-it-all Rod For The Money.

This is the Medium Heavy Medium Fast 8'6" carbon handle version. FYI, the website misspelled it as "Mag" Heavy when it should be "Med" heavy. The SST MH, MF 8'6" is a great do-it-all rod length power and action for Pacific Northwest fishing from trout to large king salmon. I use mine mostly for bass and Coho + King salmon which can get over 25lbs. I paired mine with a 4000 series reel which is about ideal reel size for this rod. The rod has more of a fast action than medium fast by other company's standards. It also has a decent backbone near the handle area for when I need to clamp down the drag and horse a giant fish away from snags or to yank them up onto the shore. I sort of like the feel of cork grips over these carbon ones, but the carbon ones clean up way easier, and if I really wanted to, I could put cork handle bar tape on the carbon grips, especially to make the handle warmer in freezing weather.

Okuma ... One Of The Best Quality For A Great Price

This is my second Okuma SST spinning rod for steelhead fishing. I use the 10'6" SST Float Drift because it is well made, light, fast tip, and costs a third of the more expensive rods. I am not giving up anything on capability with this rod and it is priced right for me. I fish an Okuma Trios spinning reel for steelhead. I use 30 lb. braid for the main line. I use this rod for bobber doggin', float fishing, and drift fishing. Great quality at a great price that doesn't break my bank!
