The NEW Okuma Wavepower Pro and Loomis & Franklin SURGE!

In todays TACKLE TUESDAY we look at 2 NEW “HOT off the press” fishing rods, namely:
⁃ OKUMA Wavepower Pro
⁃ Loomis & Franklin Surge
These 2 entry level rods are the ideal beginner rods to get the ropes of fishing, and to tell the truth, there is NO BETTER rod for the price tag that these rods carry.

I use a 9ft wave power and its a great artificial rod

[@untraceablefishing]

Agreed there- it’s an awesome rod bud💪🏻

[@MarkoGrobbelaar-d2j]

Thanks very much. Love the wavepower and the small thin rod

[@untraceablefishing]

It really is a beautiful rod my bud👍🏻🙏🏻

[@lukemarais41]

My brother has the previous generation Wave Power. He liked it so much that he had all the guides replaced.

[@untraceablefishing]

Really beautiful rods for the price, that’s for sure!

[@pietercoetzee1161]

PLEASE COMPARE BLUEFISH AND PRECISION RODS

[@untraceablefishing]

Will add to the list for you👊🏻

[@donczns]

They are very different rods, have fished extensively with both, very different rods in action. The bluefish is lighter but still strong, easy casting and a joy to fish with. The Precision offers better quality components and has a stiffer action, its a good caster if your timing is spot on and has tons of pulling power, the negative would be a bit heavier and a hint duller, not as sensitive. We will do a shootout later this year for sure, probably on all the rock and surf rods between 2k and 3k

[@pietercoetzee1161]

Thanks that would be nice looking foreward

[@simonmorris6338]

Just a suggestion. Get some sort of display in front of you guys and display the various rods in front of you or the table. To make them more visible so whoever is watching the you guys can see the rods and reels on display as well.

[@untraceablefishing]

That’s why we try include photos of the rods within the video- reels normally on our turntable as well.

I got the 9ft wave power for paddle tail a year ago, then my 11 year old son wanted it so I bought another one, then my wife liked it so I went and bought a R2000 shimano rod and they don't like it 😀

[@untraceablefishing]

lol… stick with what you know🤣

[@tonykruger871]

Hey Fisho's nice reviews .

[@untraceablefishing]

Thanks so much bud🤙🏻🎣

[@AdityaSingh-xj7wi]

Appearance of both rods are different as well as the guides, however its probably the same blank, i assume

[@donczns]

To our eyes. Probably yes

[@untraceablefishing]

Yes, it does seem so🎣

[@thaiyengovender930]

why type of distances are u guys getting out of these rods, looking to buy one

[@untraceablefishing]

This is all up to you as the angler hey. But I reckon a good 80-100m cast is possible here no problem

[@MarkoGrobbelaar-d2j]

I want to buy the okuma wave power. It looks really nice. Ill maybe save up some money for it😊

[@untraceablefishing]

Very good rod bud, you won’t be sorry!

[@tiaancrous441]

The loomis surge. Is it a stiffer blank and how many guides are on the rods

[@untraceablefishing]

Seems like it could be the same blank… sorry bud, didn’t count eyes🙈 will find out though!

[@tiaancrous441]

@untraceablefishing thanks so much. I'm also thinking it's the same blank

[@kieronmoodley7526]

Why you guys only concentrate on spinning sets? I want to see new rods for casting...

[@untraceablefishing]

There is an exciting new one coming out- we will get to it😜😉

[@kieronmoodley7526]

@@untraceablefishing hopefully been a while since new ranges came out. Will be keeping an eye 👁

[@untraceablefishing]

@@kieronmoodley7526 wait for September🔥🔥🔥

[@donczns]

Yes there are a few rods coming soon in casting models but sadly they are getting scarce

[@kieronmoodley7526]

@donczns yes I have noticed, guess the demand isn't as great as spinning. Hope to see some good stuff coming soon without a crazy price tag

[@ebrahiemjordan2360]

hi guys i am in the market for a new surf rod can't wait to see what's new 🤭

[@untraceablefishing]

Awesome, hope you enjoyed this one🤙🏻🙏🏻

[@donczns]

If you can budget around 2k the Okuma Precision and Assassin Equinox are fantastic buys at the moment

[@MarkoGrobbelaar-d2j]

Cant wait😄

[@untraceablefishing]

🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@johannschonfeldt1474]

Hi guys. I've got a precision 14.6, blue handle. I've used it once. Question? Why is the blue grip fading off?

[@untraceablefishing]

That is strange- shouldn’t be fading.

[@kumarannaidoo2786]

Cheap Winngrip. They really kuk. But if u pull the winngrip off ,underneath that u will find it has the black Eva grip💪🏽

[@Familyovereverything.]

​@@kumarannaidoo2786is this true?

[@Familyovereverything.]

​@@untraceablefishingmine started fading after the second use....peeling off not just fading

[@donczns]

They did change to EVA grip because of that reason. Seemed to vary as I tested the early precision and had no issues over around 3 months

[@MarkoGrobbelaar-d2j]

Nice intro

[@untraceablefishing]

Thanks buddy

[@haylynnrass8322]

Do you get any of these rods in a multiplier setup

[@untraceablefishing]

Hey bud New Euphoria is coming out in a casting setup… must check those out when they land🤙🏻💪🏻

[@zambifishing]

Which is better interms of blanks the okuma has a 24ton carbon blank where as the loomis has a 80% carbon composite blank, the composite blank for the loomis is throwing me off

[@untraceablefishing]

We may be wrong, but they seem so similar… for us, we would go loomis with the upgraded components.

[@MarkoGrobbelaar-d2j]

Hello guys

[@untraceablefishing]

Hey Fisho🤙🏻
