Thanks for showing the loaded action of the rod. THis is a key piece that is often missing from rod reviews. For an additional layer of detail, it would be great to see the rod action under specific loads, ie 8 lbs, 10 lbs, 15 lbs. Thanks for your reviews!
Hi Doug. If you are looking for a good all-around standard reel, I’d take a look at the Okuma Cortez reels. Something like the CZ-10CSa or CZ-12CSa. From rockfish to tuna, these will do you right. If you get the spinning version rod, I’d take a look at the Cedros Spinning reels. A 6000 or 8000 size will be perfect for the same fish I mention above. Hope that helps.
Hi Dave, have you ever pulled on the Daiwa Saltiga G Travel Boat rods? I'm curious how they compare. They have the same ferrules configuration and "one piece feel". The one I have is a 7' 3 piece 12-25lb rod for reference and is a beast. Considering if the M/MH could serve for more of a 30-40lb stick for San Diego offshore fishing? Thank you!
@@DaveysWorldFishing thanks for the quick reply. I am going to order one and check it out! Love that if you accidentally break a tip on a trip, you have a backup and can keep fishing. Tight lines!
Hi Nancy- I asked this question of the product manager at Okuma. He mentioned that the Nomad rods were very durable. The difference in these is that they feature Okuma UFR technology, which strengthens the tip section of the rods.
@@nancyn3863 So much of final pricing goes into warranty. With the price of components and materials skyrocketing, they try to keep these competitive. Pretty understandable.
Thanks for the footage sir 👍😎

Great suggestion. I appreciate you watching and for the support.
Nice demo. I really liked what I saw and I want one. Thanks!
They are pretty awesome rods. Thank you for watching.
Looks good Dave! Nice distribution of stress.
They are definitely well built.
Question, what reel would you recommend with this setup? I just got the rod now for the reel.
Cheers
Doug

Great review. Thx! 👍🙏🎣⚒
Thank you for watching. They are really nice rods. I’m pretty excited for them.

I have not. These rods are pretty stout. I think they’d serve you well for SoCal offshore as well.

@@chrishaener8702 That certainly is a handy feature.
Are the blanks and strength of these rods similar to the nomad series or are they a lot stronger?

One more question, why did they downgrade the warranty for these rods when compared to the nomads? They used to be lifetime but now only 1 year.

How much weight is that
Depending on the model they weigh between 12.8 and 16 ounces.
