Not sure as i put all my projects and gear back into my storage facility.

This is a spinning rod, not a casting rod. Thx.

​@ScubaChris I know. I'm just bad at casting long rods, spinning or casting.

@@snipergene Remember the shorter the rod the back distance needed to cast it is shorter as well. The main most important thing is the lowering of the rod before the cast. Short rods "ie-7'9" or shorter" you'd only need a wrist flick is all . Up to 9'6" i'd use a medium back-stroke. Lower the rod tip maybe 1-2ft before that fast rise to launch it. Anything longer than 9'9" keep your hands high (like the clutched hands either shoulder high or slightly higher by a few inches) and make sure the rods behind you. A helicopter view will look like a "T". Both your wrists are fulcrums meaning they're the only moving parts. Dip the rod tip down at around 45' then with a smooth but fairly fast 1-pc motion catapult the tip in an arch with your hands moving only stopping at the opposite 45' upwards created a long graceful slow motion "snap". Not quick but guiding it fast. The rod tip should be "painting a line" that is a line for accuracy of the object being casted. After this create your own style. Baits i'd slow down the speed but increase the swing length itself so you'd get a catapulting effect without any whiplashing that'll dislodge a soft bait.

@ScubaChris Thanks! I've give that a try. I usually use a 8'6" - 9'6" rod for ultralight whipping in SoCal. I have a lot of trouble casting a 11' rod when I'm targeting shark.

Thanks for your great feedback!

I've seen them in stores in town like POP & online at Okuma as well. I've probable caught more fish & landed more more dunking these rods than any other rod i owned! Held an ulua during a lightning storm before i was zapped. High sticked small ray at night during testing. Till this day i still use the 10ft for my inside & 12ft for my outside for shoreline dunking. Caught many papio's to o'ios on these. Never had one break or the threading undone or the inserts popping out.

@@ScubaChris nice. I'm hunting for a bubble floater blank to make some custom wraps

@@garyahsing418 These rods are decently cheap as is to use for bubble floats or larger Hammer Bombs:)

@@ScubaChris I need blanks. People want custom built

@@garyahsing418 Gotta get in touch with Okuma directly.

You are so welcome!

Really seems that way, doesn't it?

Good to know. But when i asked my exec buds at Daiwa they weren't aware of this. Even Gomexus as they've been advertising these models with the wrong products.

Would be good for the original 8'6" SP Rod.

Some sites like Amazon will finance for you:)

Yup, that's how i got it off eBay.

Why? Did it pop out?

Only one way to find out! Google it first, may have been done by others.

Same here:)

So nice of you.

ouch,,,

One can get lost easily on this subject:)

Just offering the safest alternative. Thanks:)

Glad you enjoyed it!

The reason is pure physics. I have that 8'6" Celilo UL as well. Using "basic" materials you cannot build a longer UL rod while still maintaining a basic "thin" slender profile that won't snap on the cast. You'd have to employ more layering procedures using exotic materials to accomplish producing a longer UL rod yet retaining rigitity & distance casting capabilities. To me UL rods up to 7'6" are built soundly. The 8'6" that i have doesn't feel "sturdy" during a full powered cast for distance so i power down knowing this. There are companies that do make longer UL rods but if i'm going to spend more than 3 Bills on one i'd rather put that investment into a Whipping or Dunking rod. Yes, i think for strength a 1pc is the way to go. Most standard ceilings are just under 9ft so i wouldn't go beyond that unless it's in 2pc. And a 2pc UL at longer lengths is taking a chance on snapping on the cast. Let us know how you do with it, especially under load buddy:)

Love my Okuma SST in pink. So versitil. Lynn

@@katieG1234 Thanks Lynn, i wasn't aware it came in pink.

John Bretza sent me one of the first to try. I was walking w/it off Ala Moana Beach when a lady stopped me just to say "that's the longest rod i've ever seen". lol

I got mine off eBay.

Sounds like a "prickly" problem. Can't you clean the oyster shells off? Possible?

@@ScubaChris it's not accessible unfortunately, the moment low tide starts it's becoming impossible to cast a net to get the fish

Thank you @nivenramrathan6868 for your kind words. What i was showing here is how to pre-set your drag tension for the initial strike. Once the fish is on you can manually adjust the lever drag knob the way you always adjust a normal spinning reel. TY and good fishing:)

I never used a Sweepfire before so i'm not qualified to correctly answer that. Plus i no longer use the the smaller sized <3K spinners. I did when i was in TX, WA & ME on trips for fresh water. Nowadays it's all open ocean to inshore estuaries. Small is 4K for me nowadays. All around estuarry flats i prefer 5K. But i'm always hearing good reports on Daiwa & Shimano reels 2500/3000.

Then i would check the Handing Website in China. Amazon only offers limited choices & certain models sell out faster. I got mine from Amazon but i suspect that created a demand for that size.

Handing also has 2 Facebook sites that you can ask a questions on. I have the 8' & 8-1/2'. I do get a bit more distance on the longer one but the 8' has more backbone on the hook-set.

Make sure you match the sizes - ie 4000, 5000, etc.

@ScubaChris thanks a lot, Chris . Tide lines amigo

@ScubaChris thanks a million, Chris. 👍🏻

It's the original handle. I only replaced the original knob was all w/a 38mm Gomexus Power Knob meant for a Daiwa reel.

@@ScubaChris ok. Thanks

Np. Look at Shimano's popular Stadic. Advertised for fresh water usage. But in Hawaii it's the #1 spinner of choice and were surrounded by salt water. To better your chances always rinse off your unit after usage.

That's the plan!

That's the one i'm getting next. The 10ft. The 11ft is just as good as i thought it would be.

I have the okuma Hawaiian costume 10’7 1/2-2oz paired with the okuma inspira 4000 super light setup plus I changed the knob on the reel by watching your video

@@juanluispaz6208 Looks and feels good! Doesn't it?

I had the privilege to be able to buy the best of the best fishing rods and reels over the year. Reels from stella saltigas ect and rods from zenaq,yamaga blanks and so on. Out of all the setups i had over the years, i one I would call my go to/favorite would be my blackhole suzuki surf 9'6" rod and the 2016 shimano spheros sw 6k

Thank you

No Jeff, this was shot on Oahu at Ala Moana.

Nah, just observant & diligent. Thanks:)

They're on Amazon. In fact Gomexus uses my vids & pics for advertising.

I've bowled all my life but recently stopped. I only bowled as anchor on a team for charity in the last 3yr. Never practiced before that tournament but still took all awards from highest average to individual scores. Sorry.

Actually it's a Power Knob, not the handle assembly.

On eBay. Blue Azores. Good solid reel. Most under $150. I've added Gomexus Power Knobs to a few. Kinda on the heavy side. My favorite now is the Inspira ISX 5K. On Amazon under $100. I use a Gomexus 38mm Power Knob to enhance the looks. Won the IF award for 2014. Perfect on the 11ft Rockaway SP rod. Love that combo!

@@ScubaChris thanks for the reply , they all sound awesome thanks , jst started to save for one 🤞take care from Glasgow in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Amazing you edited your statement but still misspelled "Sweden".

@@ScubaChris I'm sorry, but the 7000 is still Chinese.

I don't remember saying that pokemaster. You sure that was me? I add tape for very specific reasons for accessory add-ons.

@@ScubaChris It was in one of your older videos, I’ll search for it and see if I can find it. Mahalo 🤙

It was discontinued many years ago & the Guide Select Pro line took its place. Used to have it a t POP on pier#38 before.

eBay.

Hello, I no longer purchase anything from Temu. They kept my card# on file after i deleted it & they charged merchandise that i never ordered to my card#. After researching online i saw they do this a lot & to spy on others to create algorthymes. Goture is inexpensive but decent quality. Guides are usually SS but no inserts at times to keep the price down. I haven't heard anything bad about them at all. They sell on eBay as well. I own around 5 travel breakdown rods. All Okuma. I like them. Quality guides w/inserts. The best way to figure out if there's issues is just look at the model you're interested in on Amazon & read the comment. Fastest & best way to determine if it's worth your hard earned money. Good luck:)

@@ScubaChris can you recommend a okuma rod that's inexpensive but good quality, and for surf to be more specific a big rod (11FT+) to really send it out, oh and sensitive. : )

@@abellara1536 Take a look at the Rockaway Travel Surf Rods. There's a 12ft 3pc RST-S-1203MH model for spinning rated @ 1-4oz, 12-25lb line, 6-guides + tip rated at MH & weight not heavy at 10.8oz. MSRP at $149.99. Not bad stats. okumafishingusa.com/collections/rods/products/rockaway-travel-surf-rods

The solid was to continuous for me, no flair. The pearlized version was golden. Still is. Thanks.

@@ScubaChris I think I had to polish it up pretty high to get it to push through the front half of the lanes?? It had a tendency to hook very early, like most Brunswick solid balls did for me back then. Was an extremely rev dominant bowler back then in the early 90s so I generally tried to stick with pearl bowling balls and generally 1500 grit polished

Glad you enjoyed it!

I've been using my 4K for over 1/2yr & my 5K a few months. So far i see or feel no difference due to overuse or salt spray. I always take care of my gear but I feel these reels was a great choice to invest in.

@@ScubaChris good to hear..am torn between this and daiwa.fuego w/ that magseal tech..thanks from the philippine islands!

@@ewoksji266 Hard to beat a Mag Sealed reel. These reels do have seals but not enough to submerge like the Makaira, only to keep spray out. The only issues i have w/mag sealed is if there's a service center nearby or an affiliate drop-off location. Honestly between the 2 if you need a sealed reel get the Fuego. I used to be in Cebu for years. Took the Super Ferry to Bohol then to Balicasag Isle to fish & dive. Caught dako talikitok & lapu-lapu there.

@@ScubaChris def u had a blast here..im more into surf threadfin salmon and gt...looking to replace my majorcraft ceana 4000hg..
