wondering if anyone has tried out any of the rods from Okuma? I love their reels so was thinking of trying out one of their rods. Whats ya'lls experience with them?

I haven't used them, but the new helios w/ micros looks to be worth a try. When their new bc's come out I might spring for a complete okuma combo.

Their Guide Series Big Bait rods seem to be the gold standard for swimbait rods. I'm lookin forward to getting one myself here soon.
