Okuma Great Lakes Trolling Combo with Magda 30

Always my favorite.

I troll for Salmon on the Washington coast. This rod is light enough to show the small Coho hits and heavy enough to bring in the big Kings! I now have two of this combo and will add a couple more in the next month.

Bought two of these altogether in two different purchases separate by about 1 day. Didn't take the opportunity to assess my first purchase before I bought the second. The rod and reel appear to be good quality. Have fished twice now with both of these rods and reels. Time will tell if the quality is as good as it appears. Would love to do a follow-up review after two full fishing seasons. The reel was way bigger than I thought at purchase time - for my wants and needs I should have gone with the Magda 20 instead of the 30. 300 yards of braided 15-pound test doesn't even come close to filling it half-way. The total rod length is over 8 feet - there's good and bad in that - doesn't fit in the rod storage on my boat unless I break it down, however, the length gets the rod well over the side of the boat when trolling. Stiffness works well enough that there isn't much flex trolling between 3-4 mph with 3" diving crank bait set to dive about 20 feet and about 250 feet of line out behind the boat. Overall, very satisfied with this purchase, just wish I had bought the Magda 20 reels. Guess I have an excuse to buy some gear.

Snapped above the two joints on the smaller side. 2nd time use.

My favorite trolling rod/reel combo. Perfect for Walleye.

The combo is supposed to be a Great Lakes Trolling Combo. It was delivered last week. The first time I used it on Lake Superior a fish hit and the rod broke. I was using 20# test which the rod is rated for and had the drag set lightly.I bought four of these rod and reel combos. I would like the rod replaced or I will return all of them.The reels are really nice and the price is right, but if the rods are going to break they are no good.

looks good arrived in great shape and on time, ordered two for this falls salmon season

I am mostly happy with this except what might possibly be an isolated issue. I bought 4 of these to get ready for Walleye fishing unfortunately due to issues with the boat I missed the early part of the season. The second time using them (first fish caught) the tip of 1 rod broke off about 12" from the tip and it's too late to return it. I guess it remains to be seen how the other 3 hold up
