Great value with plenty of backbone to pull in the 35lb+ monsters.
Decoding Model number:
LC-<(S)pinning/(C)asting>-<(Length)(Number of pieces)-1
Examples: LC-C-902H-1 — 9ft Casting 2 piece, Heavy Power LC-S-1202H-1 — 12ft Spining 2piece Heavy Power
Any model with a “C” in it is a casting model.
My only complaint is the reel seat on the casting models is huge. Looks like they used a spinning reel seats. This requires you to tighten down the reel seat almost to the breaking point to keep the reel from flexing when retrieving. Had this problem with the medium sized Abu’s.

I use surf rods for bank fishing trophy catfish. I’ve paired it with a Penn 750 Slammer spooled with 80 lb. braid. This rod easily chunks my large baits and 4-6oz. weights out where the big ones lurk. Broke this rod in hauling in a 35 lber amongst standing timber and it performed like a champ.
I’ve also owned a 12-footer paired with an Okuma Epixor 80 for about a year and never had a problem with it. The guides, reel seat, and cork handle have all held up well through the use/abuse I’ve put it through. Very satisfied.

I own a few salt water Okuma products and they are all inexpensive and very tough. This rod is no exception. I have the 11′ model with 50# braid on a good sized reel for flinging bait and 2oz+ lures and I love it. The slimmer Cork tape handle is great, rods not heavy for size and is well balanced. I handled some nice size fluke and stripers with no problem. It has a nice fast action to it and the price on here beats retail which is always a good thing. Only negative is the shipping package its pitiful. My first rod arrived with a broken eye in a crushed box, My replacement arrived very fast but only by luck was it not ruined. There was a total lack of packing material or support in the box to protect the item. All it would take to fix is a cardboard shipping tube or at least more then one piece of stuffing in the box.
