I have the 902L and 902ML Rods. Both are sensitive for trolling crawler harnesses and small cranks on weedlines for walleye. Obviously, since they're built to handle salmon and steelhead, I’ve had no difficulty in landing 5-7 lb fish with these rods. One has a 3000 Avenger Spinning reel which is outstanding, as well.

FEDEX damaged the rod in transit. When I called FishUSA they had a new rod shipped out the same day. No hassle! Thanks FISHUSA!!!!!!

Got this rod to use as my spring steelhead rod. Went with the 10' ML and matched it with a 3000 Viper Piscifun reel. The rod is very light yet has a nice backbone. Haven't landed a steelhead with it yet, but I love the way it handles my line when float fishing. Hard to beat this rod as a introduction into steelhead/salmon rods. Will be buying other lengths and actions again in the future.

Not Fun

First trip out to float some skein for fall salmon in Kenosha WI & the top portion of the rod cracked 30 minutes in. I love Okuma's salmon gear but this rod is a DUD

This rod is an excellent float fishing rod for trout and steelhead. Ive used it for the past 4 years without any issues. The light action rod is sensitive yet strong enough to land 8lb steelhead (I only use 4lb test line). Ive had no problems with the guides or grip. I also use it to fish minnows under a float for bass and crappie. You cant beat this rod for the price.
