Sometimes I complain about the weight of this rod because it is heavy. I primarily throw 10-12" baits with it for stripers, but have also thrown 2oz lures with this rod with no issues. I own the xh and the lure rating is very accurate. They are very durable with very good guides. The moderate action is nice yet still very sensitive.Ĭomments: These are great rods! I have had mine 2yrs with no issues. It is a little tip heavy but not in a bad way. I'd say 1-2 oz is it's ideal range but could go down to 1/2 and up to 4 if you had to.

The fish basically hook themselves.Ĭomments: I've had the the heavy for about a year now it works great only complaint I have is that the very last guide broke and shredded my line on a cast sending my lure flyingĬomments: Another great rod from Okuma at an incredible price. That mod fast taper keeps the fish pinned and it's very sensitive. I use that specific model for throwing top water swimbait such as rats, bucca bull wakes, etc. It's a very durable, quality swimbait rod, especially for the price.
