Overview

Designed in collaboration between Okuma and Tackle Warehouse staff members, the Okuma Guide Select Custom Swimbait Rods were built with exact specifications and special requests to be one of the most high-performing and affordable series of swimbait rods ever created. Starting with the blanks, they utilize lightweight IM-8 graphite blanks with Okuma’s UFR(Unidirectional Fiber Reinforcement) Technology, which provides incredible strength and durability but also delivers excellent sensitivity so you can feel the nose of your swimbait ticking across tiny pebbles along the bottom.

One of the first components that was addressed was the handle length and style. A full handle was a must for the Okuma Guide Select Custom series and the distance from the rod butt to the beginning of the reel seat was a critical element that was carefully selected to deliver comfort while fishing and increased leverage for casting big baits. Another overlooked feature on most swimbait rods is the hook keeper system. We decided on an extra heavy-duty stainless steel keeper that is super durable and mounted to the side of the blank, which keeps swimbaits tucked away and prevents tails from getting bent by your reel when stored.

For the guide train, the Okuma Guide Select Custom series come outfitted with Fuji K double foot guide frames and Fuji Alconite inserts to give anglers the durability of double wraps on every guide. Ergonomic reel seats also maximize blank exposure to further increase sensitivity and are incredibly comfortable to fish all day long. Completed with premium cork handles for a traditional look and feel, followed by blue accent wraps that pop in the day light, the Okuma Guide Select Custom Swimbait Rods are available in a selection of sizes that cover everything from small line-thru swimbaits up to magnum glidebaits.

Features:
-UFR: Unidirectional fiber reinforcement technology
-IM-8 graphite blank construction
-EVO Graph: 1k woven carbon reinforced blank
-Longitudinal fiber tip
-Fuji Alconite guide inserts
-Fuji K-concept guide frame
-Premium full cork handle
-Ergonomic reel seat
-Heavy-duty stainless steel enclosed hook keeper

*Okuma Guide Select Custom Swimbait Rods do not have line rating, lure rating, or taper printed on the blanks

Excellent, true big bait rodBought the XXH several months back to throw extra large softbaits. It feels so good that I’ve been throwing everything from 8” hudds and bigger on it. Fantastic rod. Made with quality components. Handle length is perfect. Balances well with a 400 size round reel (which is what you should have on an XXH swimbait rod IMO) I’ve already caught quite a few fish on it up to just shy of 9 lbs. It manhandles everything. Not too heavy or cumbersome like a lot of XH and XXH rods out there. This one is a winner!
