okuma cold water trolling rod SST Kokanee & Trout Combo – Seattle Fishing Company the Okuma Coldwater Custom Trolling Rods offer maximum durability and resilience to handle the rigors of trolling Rods

$2,800 SOLD

I have vivid memories of 40-plus-inch bass straightening the hooks on expensive topwater plugs because, presumably, the manufacturer never intended that lure to be used on big fish! VMC trebles do a very good job for less money, and the slightly longer shank and thinner gauge wire performs well, especially for striped bass, bluefish, and false albacore

these were apparently absent on the first test reels

Thanks MikeC
