Feels good in the hands but not the right dimensions
I purchased the SDS-C-801XH and am quite happy with the appearance of the rod. I paired it with the Daiwa Lexa HD 400 and have used the rod with topwater, jerkbaits, and crankbaits.

Awesome rod
I use this rod mainly for casting crankbaits for big pike and I am very happy with it.
Okuma shadow stalker rod review
Very good rod! After catching a dozen sand bass, I let a friend try it, He loved it as well, in fact we both agreed it was better than his very expensive Cousins rod.
Great bang for the buck rod
Great rod for my okuma arena 400 reel, they really balance each other out. It's great for big reds and black drum out in the bay.
Sent me the wrong rod
Sent me the wrong rod, but whatever. I received the heavy instead of the medium heavy. I put an Okuma Andros 5Ns reel spooled with 30 lbs braid on it. Caught some yellowfin tuna in the 15-20 lbs range. Fun lightweight setup!
The picture that is on our page might seem more silver because the lighting when the picture is taken. The pictures in the reviews are more accurate to the color of the rod. Thank you for considering TackleDirect for your fishing needs.
According to the Okuma website, the SDS-C-801H weighs in at 7 ounces.
