I have been fishing some of the new Okuma 7'11 swimbait rods and I cant tell you how much I like them. They are extremly light for their size and have a perfect action to them. They have a more parabolic bend to them but they still have tons of backbone. I can cast my baits farther now than I have with any other rod. You guys are going to love these. I believe they are going to cost around $100 each and are underpriced for what you get. They will come in a MH wich is perfect for my little baits and med wood baits. A hvy for med sized baits like Hudds and large wood baits and a xhvy for big 10in and bigger baits. They have a new trick butt design that makes casting easier and more comfortable. They will be at ICast. I highly recomend these rods!
