The Okuma X-Series Salmon and Steelhead rods are specially designed for Salmon and Steelhead fishing. The X-Series rods were designed to target the serious, technically-minded angler. Utilizing the latest in advanced technologies, these rods were built to be extremely lightweight and balanced giving you a great feel for all-day fishing.
The X-Series rods were designed with insight from the top Salmon and Steelhead fishermen in the Pacific Northwest. The backbone of the X-Series rods is the ultra-responsive and lightweight premium 40-ton Toray Carbon rod blank construction. The Toray Carbon construction gives these rods the sensitivity you need to feel even the lightest of bites.
The component system on the X-Series rods are premium and ultra-light including Sea Guide deep press stainless steel guide frames with RS Sea Guide inserts that offer unmatched hardness for braided line use. The double-locking Sea Guide Alien reel seat design will keep your reel locked in place and offer all-day ergonomic comfort. A custom 3-K woven carbon cone grip configuration offers a sleek line and ease in and out of rod holders.
The X-Series Hover Rod (Model starting with XH-C) is equally designed for serious-minded salmon fishing enthusiasts. The premium 40-Ton Toray carbon rod blank construction provides excellent sensitivity, and the Ultimate Matrix Reinforcement technology (UMR) ensures consistent performance. Much like the troll rods, the hover rod features a double locking SeaGuide Alien reel seat design and SeaGuide deep press frame design protect the guide insert, while the RS SeaGuide inserts offer unmatched hardness. The custom 3-K woven carbon cone grip configuration provides a comfortable and secure grip.
Proposition 65 is a California law that applies to companies selling products in California. Proposition 65 requires warnings if a product contains any listed chemical present above very low levels. Proposition 65’s warning standards are among the most stringent in the world. Proposition 65 is not a product safety law, but rather a "right-to-know" law. Businesses are required to provide warnings to comply with Proposition 65.
There are over 800 chemicals on the Proposition 65 list, which is administered by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency. The list includes naturally occurring and man-made chemicals. Proposition 65 warnings can be seen for a wide variety of everyday consumer products, including electronic equipment, and warnings can be seen posted throughout California in a variety of establishments such as buildings, hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, and stores.
Why do you see the warning on our packaging and website?
The warning is part of our ongoing effort to comply with the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (known as "Proposition 65").
