The Monterey Salmon, Sturgeon and Halibut rods are designed with a responsive and durable 24-ton carbon and E-Glass blank design. These blanks also feature Okuma’s UFR-Ultimate Flex Reinforcement tip technology. This process blends unidirectional fiber over 24-ton carbon in the extended tip section of the rod to increase lifting strength and power by as much as 400%. This technology provides for the ultimate in strength without sacrificing sensitivity so that you can feel even the lightest of bites down deep.
Monterey rods feature Okuma’s 3K-Woven carbon outer blank wrap which improves hoop strength and durability. This combined with the UFR and you have a great rod. The Monterey rods come standard with SeaGuide XQ series 316-stainless steel guide frames with Zirconium inserts that offer compatibility for both braided and monofilament lines. They also feature premium Fuji DPS reel seats with stainless steel hoods for extra rigidity and strength keeping your reel secure. The comfortable EVA foam foregrip and shrink tube rear grip are comfortable in the hand and easy to take in and out of the rod holder. All models feature a precision placed stainless steel hook keeper.
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").
