This rod wouldn't even be a good back pin rod. purched it for that reason and the rod shattered 6 inches above the handle on a cast. poor workmanship.if you are looking for a pin rod i reccomend the st.croix 13' 6'' or the g loomis 13' 4''.

GOOD FEELING ROD, weak tip

By Nathan Slate

from Western NY on 10/7/2008

Flexible, Good swing, Sensitive

Steelhead

Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Aventa Float Rods:

This rod feels real good in your hands, and fishes real well to, but I am disappointed that today I broke the first two inches of the tip while fighting a little 4 pound steelhead. Other people have said that they have experienced the same thing with this rod. Disappointed that I now have to call the company to replace it. I hope that this rod was just a lemon, and that the replacement will be better.

Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Aventa Float Rods:

Price is right-however tip broke off second time I used the rod. Okuma is a great company-they stand behind their product. I own five reels and eight Okuma rods. Great factory response. I would purchase the next expensive Okuma rod rather then this model. The tip on this rod is very prone to weakness. My fishing buddies some five of them have had the same problem.

Comments about Okuma Fishing Tackle Corp. Okuma Aventa Float Rods:

This is a good beginners ceterpin rod, soft and a little heavy, but be weary of it in cold weather. I broke the tip (8") off fighting a medium size steelhead on my third trip with it, yesterday a freind broke his just above the second ferrel fighting a medium sized fish. It seems in cold weather these rods get very brittle. Others I know have had similar experiences.
