My youngest son is off to Kansas State University so I got him a rod he can transport easily. This is a quality rod and he's already caught numerous largemouth bass at the local lake, so it's all broken in for Kansas.

One of the nicest high-quality spinning rods of use. Love the travel capabilities and the case.. Has not come apart during the fight, cast, or riding in the rod holder. Performs as good as a single piece rod.

This rod is excellent for the traveling angler. I recently purchased one for my brother and one for my son. Mine is paired with a size 4000 reel and has caught fish in Aruba, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Florida, Alabama etc etc etc. I have caught bluefish, snook, tarpon, amberjack and many more. It is a solid buy!

Nice rod, bit lighter than expected

Michael

Very nice looking rod, great finish. Nice reel seat. The 3pc is an awesome feature, and with these ferrule connections, it feels close enough to a one-piece. Definitely not worse than a 2pc. So, great for travelling.
The rod M-MH is a bit lighter than I was expecting. Visually, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between the 2 tips. Although, there is only a few pounds… read more difference, I was hoping/expecting a bigger difference.

Okuma Nomad Inshore Travel Rods Questions and Answers

Ask a Question
Asked by Jose Bird 11 years ago

Is the medium weight of this rod going to be able to handle kingfish or decent sized jacks with comfort, or is that middle weight easier for baby tarpon? not a 20 min. fight if you know what i mean Thank you

Post an Answer
Customer Service 11 years ago

If you go with the rod on the included link you get both the Medium and Medium Heavy tip section (two are included). This will easily handle small tarpon, kingfish and jacks.

Asked by Roger 10 years ago

What is the length of the individual sections and the length of the case? Need to be sure it would fit in a 32" suitcase.

Post an Answer
Customer Service 10 years ago

The case measures 32" x 5" x 2.5". It should fit into the suitcase, but it will be tight. You should be able to carry it on.

Okuma does not list lure ratings for these rods.Based on the line ratings, we would say 1/2 to 1 1/2 ounces.

This is a little light, but the right angler could certainly make this work. We suggest something a little heavier

Asked by John Ingrish 5 years ago

Would this pair well with Penn Slammer 5500 for Caribbean beach, inshore, and flat fishing. 

Post an Answer
Bernie De Graaf 5 years ago

The slammers are great reels but you want to downsize the 5500 to a 4500 to balance out better with the nomad inshore

For a trip to Belize fishing from docks, the flats as well as some reef fishing do you recommend the ML/M or the M/MH?

The m/mh will be a more versatile rod.

Can handle 40lbs fish

Post an Answer
Bernie 6 years ago

That rod would be a stretch for 40+ pound fish you might want to lean towards something in a medium heavy power.
