Why Okuma???

[@lifesyours247]

Thanks for your reply in regards to the Okuma EVX Bass rods. I was able to get a 7'2" and a 7'5" both heavy action. I really like them as you thought I would. Thanks again for sharing your experiences and willingness to answer questions. Have a Happy and Blessed 2024!

[@TackleJunky81]

Right on! Appreciate you! 👊

[@ScubaChris]

You did an excellent review. Knowledge like this is generated from experience, not reading stats. Kudos!

[@TackleJunky81]

Appreciate the comment bud!

[@BassGeek]

I've got a couple Okuma's and I really like'em they seem to be a great rod. I use their big swimbait rod for my S-Waivers and BullShads. I can't remember which on it is right now but I love it.

[@TackleJunky81]

BassGeek Good deal brother! I've heard guys saying they find the TCS rods online for like 90 bucks...Wal-Mart I think.

[@BassGeek]

TackleJunky81 Wow! That’s a steal!

[@matthewmoore5840]

TackleJunky81 do you ever sell your older model rods and reels(13 or Okuma), or do you have to return the ones given you by the company? Thx

[@TackleJunky81]

Matthew Moore I don't have to return them, but I haven't sold any Okuma gear. Sold all my 13 gear.

[@matthewmoore5840]

TackleJunky81 well that’s a plus. So when or if you do sell your gear or tackle, where do you sell it? I’m only asking bc we can all see that you take extremely good care of everything you have. Also I can’t find any store in my area that carries Okuma rods. I fishing 13 rods right now, but I’m looking at buying a shorter med/mod rod for jerk baits and topwater, but I like to be able to put my hands in something before I buy it. Any suggestions?

[@markmcadams757]

Ready to head back to Illinois in the morning. Down in Florida visiting parents . Took a day and scratched a lake off my bucket list. Hired a guide on Okeechobee. Got lucky and got Tom Mann jr as a guide and got my first bass of 2018 and first bass on my TCS 7 ft heavy.

[@TackleJunky81]

Mark McAdams Very cool!

[@stuntznfx2000]

Great video! I just ordered two Celilo 9' MH rods for Salmon/Steelhead and paired with the Ceymar 40 series reel. Great products!

[@TackleJunky81]

Thank you brother and great choice! 👊

[@Roboworm99]

Great arsenal. Scott did a great job on those. That’s a series I took a hard look at. Thanks for the shout out

[@robertvought7319]

I like the black and blue color Okuma rods.

[@chadmauter5300]

I vote for a pond box and packing up that Okuma backpack. I have been looking to buy it, but want to visually see how storage it has

[@andrew.lanc3r]

I love the Okuma Nomad Inshore Travel Rod series. Own 4 of them in total. Cast like a dream. Catch snappers and groupers up to 20 pounds. Never experienced a snapped rod.

[@jwilson2536]

I would enjoy a pond box/bag video. That's a great idea to make a designated pond tackle bag.

[@fanofthereds6736]

My spinning reels are Okumas, and I had them paired up with Okuma rods. But both of them broke pulling fish our of the river and when I sent them in for replacement, I was denied, so I wound up getting different rods for them.

[@andydanneker5202]

I just got the 6’6 jerkbait/crankbait TCS rod partly because of your precious Okuma videos. It is a good length for me since I do my fishing from the bank. I am interested in getting the 7’3 heavy for frogs and swimbaits as well. Awesome video

[@TackleJunky81]

Andy Danneker Appreciate the comment Andy!

[@KayakChris]

I still use my Okuma Avenger baitfeeder reel. Great reels for the price, I use them for salt and fresh in fact you see me catching 3 bass on that reel combined with my custom rod that I made from Mudhole in the last video I just posted. I've had that reel for 4 years, caught everything from Redfish and trout to bass and chain pickerel. I always reccomend them to people who ask me what reel I use.

[@TackleJunky81]

Kayak Chris Good deal bro!

[@darrenwu6348]

Would love to see a pond box because I love all your videos

[@barryconley8992]

Greetings sir. I like watching your informative content. I have an opportunity to get a couple of Okuma EVX b casting rods. I know they're not made anymore, however what has been your past experience with these rods, if you could please?

[@TackleJunky81]

Some of my favorites, especially for the price! It was a shame to see them discontinued. You'll like them for sure!

[@austintessnear4307]

What are you going to do with your dobyns rods and Daiwa reels? Great video by the way!

[@TackleJunky81]

Austin Tessnear I'll sell them eventually. Thanks Austin!

[@harristee21]

I wish Okuma would list each rods classifications on their website so you could tell what they recommend for each particular rods usage before you buy it.

[@TackleJunky81]

Tee Harris They do for the TCS series and you can find what they recommend for the EVX rods in the online catalog.

[@matthewackerson7861]

I own many Okuma rods and reels and from what I’ve found they are good but not any better than their competitors at the same price point. Okuma has the absolute worst costumer service and replacement parts are incredibly hard to get. I’ve been waiting 7 months for a rod upper section from Okuma and still not available. My Lamiglas upper rod section took 3 days to get from Lamiglas .I’m no longer going with Okuma for this reason.

[@lucasehrhardt5554]

I have a few questions regarding the helios tcs reels vs diawa. Have you ever had or used a Diawa Tatula ct type r? How would you say it compares to a Helios TCS? Cast ability , reliability, longevity, and feel in hand? I am a frugal college student who doesn't have much money to spend, and would love to know which one you think would be best worth my money considering I can only get one. Any advice would be appreciated

[@TackleJunky81]

I have a few of the CT Type R's...killer reels. The TCS is also a killer reel. The TCS is lighter and much more comfortable in hand. Both great casting reels. I like running all TCS reels as it doesn't throw off the feel of the combos especially when switching the weight of a lure. The TCS reels handle both light and heavy lures as well as light and heavier line. Really can't go wrong with either reel.

[@lucasehrhardt5554]

Thank you for the advice and very prompt response. I will probably end up going with the okuma TCS considering I already have the rod and have heard nothing but good things. Great informative video, I will definitely be subscribing and checking in regularly.

[@eastsideirish1440]

I just bought my first surf rod by okuma im hyped after your vid i didnt know okuma was that good 👍

[@TackleJunky81]

👊💪

[@jsmoke8822]

I've had lamiglass gloomis all that my favorite rod of all time is my okuma sst I've caught 100s of fish the many years I've had it has never let me down

[@ScubaChris]

Alan Hawk who does reel reviews has put into writing that Okuma is the 3rd largest fishing tackle company in the world.

[@dylanmorgan8620]

That movie was wicked good at 0:40

[@John_D2]

just wish okuma would change the hook keeper placement , to above the reel seat..

[@dougshelton7656]

Thumbs up on a pond box video! Another awesome video. Only bad thing about this video is it makes me want to order some new rods and reels right now but I don't have the money for it lol.

[@TackleJunky81]

Doug Shelton Thanks Doug!

[@jwilson2536]

I've been a big fan of Okuma spinning reels for a while. I have 3 different ones, don't have any baitcasters though. I like BPS baitcasters with the DBS on them. I was curious about the new Helios spinning reel. Please do a review once you have a solid opinion about it. It was either that reel or another Inspira. I like the Inspira almost as much as my Ci4+ which I only paid $180 for, and that's the only reason I got it.

[@RockyTopSplash]

glad okuma is sponsoring you but I have used the cerros reels and absolutely hate them.. just felt like I was one 5lber away from the gears falling out?

[@TackleJunky81]

Rocky Top Splash I have a couple of those and it's a decent reel. I mainly use the TCS reels.

[@dukeaboy829]

Hey really enjoy your videos....I own and love the TCS rods however there’s one thing I don’t love about them...I’ve noticed the nice dark blue tape that holds the eyes on fades away to silver it definitely takes away from the overall look of the rod...I was wondering if you experience this and if so know anyway to prevent it ...thanks for any help...

[@TackleJunky81]

Duke Aboy I've used those rods for 3 or 4 years and haven't seen that issue with mine yet.

[@KrazyKajun602]

What okuma spinning reel and rod would you recommend for fishing ultralight (crappie,bream)?

[@diegogaxiola8444]

Okuma ceymar c-10 excelente little reel

[@heathschwab]

Yea I like there rods also I've got a few reels bait runner and big line counter reel and small one without line counter. But I haven't had a new rod in 10 years last summer I treated my self well not a trat to most but booyah rod and reel 30 dollars there OK. But I got a mitchel reel and Shakespeare rod and took the real added to a ugly stick but lost month later flipped my small boat. The real red and black my fav colors match. But 25 for the rod and reel so the reel was 20 and added to a 40 rod that hurt to loose. But I want get another rod prob another 5 to 10 years. I buy used cause I give them away. But ide love to buy me 4 good rod and reels for bass and 4 new catfish rod and reel that I don't give away. But I like my group here in louisania. But lived the video good info. Thanks have a good week god bless

I know your boat is a Tracker 175. I have the opportunity to own a 2018 Tracker 195, 150 Merc on the back. Good enough boat to drop the hammer on? Value your opinion 👍

[@TackleJunky81]

I've seen the 195 in videos, looks like a killer boat. Haven't seen it in person yet.

[@hunternixonfishing2500]

TJ what do you think about Enigma rods? I just signed with them and I love my Okuma TCS rod btw. Was curious if you ever used them

[@TackleJunky81]

Hunter Nixon I haven't used them bud.

[@troyturnage973]

Do you still use boca bearings in your reels?

[@TackleJunky81]

Troy Turnage I haven't put them in any of my Okuma reels, but I'm sure eventually I will.

I'm sure they're killer rods, but I'm more than happy with the TCS rods. I used Dobyns for a few years and I still choose the TCS rods over them. The actions of the TCS rods really fit my style of fishing. Aren't Loomis rods like 500 bucks??? Not sure I'd even want to fish with them, I'd probably faint If I stepped on one, lol Thanks for watching brother!

[@toddsteelefishing642]

awesome !

[@allennguyen3522]

Okuma rods good. Okuma reels, not a fan.

[@andrew.lanc3r]

Some of its reels are pretty good. The Ceymar spinning reel is great for its price, the SLV fly reel is exceptional, the Helios SX reel is really amazing.

[@fishfever5923]

Are you affiliated with Okuma?

[@PivotalG]

He was officially sponsored by Okuma last year but if you watch his videos before that he always used and had Okuma rods/Reels on his boat and continuously praised them.

[@aavalbonesi]

why okuma? because they gave him the most free shit.
