slomoe Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 These new Okuma prototypes look great. Can't wait to see them in the stores. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewicast2008okuma.html Im thinking these would look good with the new citicas Quote
Aaron Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I agree, they are some fine lookin' rods. Can't wait to see them in store. Quote
Super User islandbass Posted July 17, 2008 Super User Posted July 17, 2008 Wow!!!! I didn't get to the Okuma link yet and I'm out of Brawny paper towels. ;D Quote
Super User Raul Posted July 17, 2008 Super User Posted July 17, 2008 Very nice, they look like JDM rods. Quote
fishbear Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 What price point are we talking about here??? Quote
Masshole Mike Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 projected retail of $149 sounds like an awesome deal. can't wait to get my hands on one of these rods, they look absolutely killer! Quote
Super User islandbass Posted July 17, 2008 Super User Posted July 17, 2008 They do look awesome as I mentioned, but does anyone know how those zirconia guides compare to say the Fuji Alconites or even Aluminum Oxide guides? Ever since I got my Crucial that sports Alconites, it seems hard for me to go in the other direction guide wise. Quote
dave Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Looks like a nice color coordination with the new Curado E Quote
Super User burleytog Posted July 18, 2008 Super User Posted July 18, 2008 'Foregrip' is too long. :-/ Quote
Megastink Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Anyone see the Lightning Shock rods from Berkley? Granted, they may not be STEEZ quality, but I'm sure everyone here can appreciate a good deal. Check them out. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewicast08purefishing01.html Unlike some of you, I am fishing on a budget, so this is great news for me! Quote
bassdocktor Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 Those Okuma look really nice and so do those Lightning Shocks. Should be interesting when they are finally in stores. Quote

Getting one of those for my finance' when they come out. It's gonna be one of those "her's" rods.I think they look awesome as well. However i'm after the okuma now.... Quote
Megastink Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 I like the idea and concepts behind the Okumas, but i dont like the foregrip. Its too long. I want to palm the reel and have direct contact with the rod. Other then that, it sounds delicious. Quote
