I haven't used this rod yet but I am really looking forward to checking them out. I paired them with Avet HXW 4.2 reels and can't wait to get out there and put 'em to work.
Nice components and good performance. great price point

Bought a pair of these rods for live baiting Ling cod on the central coast of California. Very well built and strong rods. There action loaded up well for the type fishing we do. Landed several average size fish and have confidence when a beast comes knocking this rod was a good choice .
Durable and light

I have 4 of the 661's paired with Avet's mxj 5.3's spooled with the 15lb free mono the reels came with. They worked great all season, used them for fluke sea bass and stripers primarily. We have used 6oz's or more perhaps of lead while fishing out to about 50 to 60 feet of water.

<span>Hi Kevin, The Okuma SCT-AT-601H Albacore Trolling Rod would be great for your application. However since it's currently sold out I would also recommend a TackleDirect TDPS703050SIN Platinum Hook Conventional Kingfish Rod. </span><a>https://www.tackl

How are these rods different from the now discontinued SCT inshore rods. Only difference I notice in the different length options the lack of the split grip and the price. Are they basically same rods?<p><br /></p><p>Thanks </p>

There is a difference in the components used on the Albacore rods. They have aluminum gimbals, Alps aluminum reel seats, and Titanium oxide Alps guide inserts.
