Nice Blank, Poor Guides
I liked the convenience of the travel rod. Comes with a nice travel tube. But be sure to keep it in the tube. One of the guides got bent at some point and broke off. I'm pretty careful with my rods and this is the first time this has happened to me. I don't know if otherwise this rod feels like a $90 rod beside the convenience and travel tube. I tried going through Okuma to see… read more if it was covered under warranty but didn't get a response, but that might be because I called last year during the COVID lockdowns.
Amazing Rod
Bought this rod for a trip I went on because I needed something that I could take on a plane. I've been using it for over a year now, mostly for striped bass, and it has been fantastic. Lightweight and sensitive but still capable of pulling in larger inshore fish.
The Okuma SST is a spinning rod so a baitcasting reel would not work on it.
The MH rods are 5.7 and 6.4 ounces.
Okuma SST Travel Spinning Rods are considered saltwater rods.
I'd advise a 3000 size spinning reel for model number SST-S-663L, a 4000 size for SST-S-763MH, and a 5000 size for SST-S-863MH.
The VM150 would be a bit heavy for the 8'6'' Okuma SST Travel rod.
The Okuma SST Travel Spinning Rods are made in China. Thank you for considering TackleDirect for your fishing needs.
All three sections of the SST 7'6" travel rod are the same length, 31". The carrying case is 32.5" long.
