"OKUMA" Surf Rods
By John Serpico
These are beautifully crafted and durable. Great action and easy to handle. I totally enjoy using these rods so much so that I own five of them, 8ft, 9ft, 10ft, 11ft, & 12ft. Also their spinning reels are really nice. Other than my collection of PENN rods & reels the OKUMA is my next favorite to use. They are very reasonably priced but you have to shop around which is so much easier to do on line.

Perfect for shore fishing with a heavy weight.
By Navyissuesuby
You can launch the heck out of this thing. I have never been able to cast like I can with this pole coupled to my Penn Battle. I can launch this thing so hard that it will actually start cutting into my index finger with the tension from the line.

Great chunking rod
By Anthony
I bought this rod over a year ago and decided to add my 2 cents seeing that this item hasn't gotten many reviews. I'm a college student with a budget and wanted to find reputable and dependable gear at a great price. Overall, I have to say that I am very impressed with this rod. This rod features a strong backbone to haul in heavy catches (I dragged in a 70 lb butterfly ray with this thing!), fuji guides that'll reduce the wear of your fishing line and allow for smooth castings, a nice cork handle for a firm grip, and a solid rubber butt which can be used as a walking stick. The Solaris also has a fairly neutral aesthetic (black, with gold and white threading) which will work with just about any reel. The only thing I'd want to point out to potential buyers is that the Solaris is mainly a chunking rod. The rod is slightly heavier than most rods and won't be very practical if you're into throwing spoons or things that require a constant cast and retrieve. My only regret is not spending a little more and pairing this rod up with a Penn Battle and not a Fierce, but thats a completely different issue. Nonetheless, if you're into chunking and are looking to buy your first rod and reel I'd definitely suggest this rod. It is sure to last you a while.
