I got a gift certificate from GM for christmas and was thinking about a new rod. Does anyone know if gander makes a 8'6" or 9 ft. H or XH rod? Or if they carry the Okuma muskie rods?

Thanks...Brian

I just checked out the Okuma site and punched in my zip code, it says my local Gander is an Okuma dealer. Check this link out.

Hey T.J., Thanks for the help. The Ganders here in Pa. carry the Okuma reels but not any Okuma rods. Does the store near you carry them? I wonder if I would be able to order one from them? Would you possibly have a number I could call to find out?

Thanks...Brian

The Gander Mtn in Washington and Sportmens Warehouse both have Okuma Rods.
You can get them from Howard Wagner's Fish Education Center also.

Yes, Gander makes a 8'6 Heavy that I know of. I opted for the 8' Extra Heavy myself. I love it. My second choice would have been the Okuma 8'6 XHeavy, but the Gander by me doesn't stock a whole lot of Okuma products. The Gander rod was only $100, plus, no shipping charges.

Hey Rich, I went to Washington again today. They hardley ever have any long Okuma rods out there. I ended up leaving with an 8'6" XH Gander rod for myself and a 6'6" Gander rod for my 10 yr. old son too. plus a bunch of other stuff that wasn't on my shopping list. LOL

Thanks...Brian

Hey, Brian... Just to be sure... you're POSITIVE that is a EXTRA Heavy in a 8'6? I'm just wondering, because the only 2 options I had when I went was 8' Xheavy, or 8'6 Heavy. The guy behing the counter said that was all that was available.

Yea Jim, Your right it is a heavy rod. I hope I like it. I'll find out in a few days when the water level drops in the rivers. I have a ton of new equipment, a new boat, and some new tricks up my sleeves. I'm just dying to get on the water!
