Does a person have to spend alot of money to get a good rod with a long handle? I would like at least 16" from reel seat without voiding a warranty by extending one on my own. I've found some good rods for 100-120 bucks but 15" is the longest i've found. Thanks, | |||

Posts: 299 Location: Ontario, California | The 8'6" Okuma EVX telescopics have a 16 inch rear grip. The 3 new telescopics up to 9'3" also have a 16 inch rear grip. Edit... The new telescopic testing is almost complete. I will announce shortly when they should be available in the U.S. Edited by California_Muskie 3/23/2009 12:05 AM | ||

I have to admit, I was skeptical of the okuma rods at first, however I really like the EVX I bought. matched it up with a calcutta and casted all day without a single complaint ! | |||

I had to move the stripper guide back down a tad bit so that is about the lowest that we can get them. | ||
