Okuma Serrano and EVX - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

landwhale · 02-28-2012, 03:04 PM

I've known some of the Okuma guys for years and last year at the FH talked to John and Ross about a crank bait rod and reel, was impressed with the quality of there new line and bought a Okuma Serrano and EVX rod.

Ended up not using the cranks so put it to use as my Fluke rod, filled with 10lb it has been my most used combo this last year and I can tell you it has out preformed my Daiwa's and Shimano's.

Stop by at Okuma during the show and check their bait casters and rods out.

I love those Serrano reels, I think it is one of the best low profile baitcasters on the market.

I picked up an Okuma Cortez that I've been playing around with throwing irons, I've yet to tug on a YT with it yet but It seems like a nice reel also.

I got the new Okuma Cedros Cj 273 and this thing is sick. It is so small, yet holds almost as much line as my Curado 300. Also the drag power on this thing is crazy. I could easily catch a YT with it if I really wanted too.
