Would make a great surf type casting pole

Would make a great surf type casting pole
Large Pole, 10' striper model is more for oceanIt looks like a very nice inexpensive pole. I wanted to use it for lake trolling because on the 10' striper model the handle behind the reel is long. Maybe 18". It would be good for surf casting. Or yellowstone river paddle fishing.

As a Lake Michigan salmon angler, I cannot recommend the Okuma Classic Pro GLT rods enough. These rods are an absolute must-have for anyone serious about catching salmon in the deep waters of Lake Michigan.

One of the standout features of the Classic Pro GLT rods is their incredible sensitivity. The rods are incredibly responsive, allowing you to detect even the slightest nibble from a fish. This is especially important when trolling for salmon, as they can be notoriously finicky and difficult to catch.

Another great feature of these rods is their durability. The Classic Pro GLT rods are built to last, with high-quality components that can withstand the rigors of saltwater fishing. This is essential when targeting salmon, as these fish can put up a fierce fight and can easily snap inferior rods.

Additionally, the Classic Pro GLT rods are incredibly versatile. They come in a variety of lengths and line weights, making them suitable for a wide range of fishing techniques and conditions. Whether you're trolling for salmon, casting for steelhead, or jigging for lake trout, these rods are up to the task.

Mine arrived missing a guide insert and not packed great. I was able to get a refund and they let me keep the rod, I managed to fix it with a cheap insert kit. The rod is awesome for trolling with snap weights and downrigger. The fore grip is really thick so make sure it will clear your rod holders. It handles 10 Oz and a flasher just fine

Action and backbone on GLT rods has been very good, as I've used them for salmon for several years. Eyelets occasionally fall out/break, but never had one become a line cutter. The copper line rods eliminate that issue and I am looking forward to many years with those.

Size: CP-DR-862M; 8'6" Med 10-25LBStyle: Down RiggerVerified Purchase
This is my second Classic Pro GLT, with my first combo package still going strong salmon fishing in Northern California. I fish the Okuma dragging a three pound ball on a sinker release. The rod flex at the tip is good while trolling and the flex in the rod keeps a steady tension on the fish when bringing it in. I have had better luck with the Classic Pro GLT then a number of gifted West Coast expensive rods that broke (twice) and had to be returned for the "lifetime warranty" that cost 75 bucks to replace the rod. When I was last out using the replaced "high end" rod I noticed the tip eye was starting to come apart so I decided a backup rod was needed. Looking at my Okuma that has gone on all the fishing trips the " West Coast " rod has gone on, the Okuma Rod looks great, all the eyes have stayed together, it hasn't broke, and it fishes well so i ordered another one. Just a quick update. Went out on a six pack party boat and found the supplied rods were these rods. Crew said they liked em and they kept the fish on the barbless hook nicely.

Really thought this was a quality product given the name . I bought 4 new rods for trolling , fist trip out one of the rods broke 6 inches from the top when rod got a hit. I kindly reached out to customer service to see about a replacement of if i could buy a top section not one damn response from voice mail or emails I sent. My other 3 are doing fine but it's sad a company like okuma can't respond to customers using there products. What a let down .

I got a couple of these rods 3 years ago and love them. I was looking to buy 2 more but they are no longer available on Amazon. I have used them on my down riggers and wire dipsey lines. They perform great. They are a little stiff, but a feature I like a lot.
