OKUMA ALBAGRAPH 5 ALIJOS 5 COMBO
THE ROD:
Now into our 6th generation and these rods just keep improving as technology advances and the demands of the angler escalate. These new rods were designed utilizing the infamous Albagraph series action but incorporate some major improvements with Winn grips and Alps Guides.
The technology incorporates both high modulus 46-ton carbon blank and the H.C.B and E.E.G method of manufacturing. These blanks are also modeled off the famous East European (Russia/Serbia etc) spinning rods which are light powerful, significantly stronger than ever before, and extremely sensitive.
As with previous generations, these famous rods can be used for almost any occasion: from small baitfish, snapper, kings, jigging, off the wharf, rocks, etc. Nothing is too much for this most famous of rod series that has come from our stable.
