Okuma is proud to announce the release of the Tesoro Jigging and Slow Pitch Rods. Designed with advanced materials and technologies, these rods are tailored for slow pitch and speed jig bottom fishing, providing saltwater anglers with unmatched performance and precision on the water.
Tesoro Jigging Rods feature 24/30-Ton Carbon rod blanks for slow pitch rods, and 24-Ton Carbon rod blanks for speed jig bottom fishing rods. These premium blanks are constructed with Okuma’s proprietary UXR: Ultimate X Reinforced Multidirectional Fiber Technology, which enhances their durability, strength, and responsiveness, ensuring they can withstand the rigors of intense jigging motions.
The Tesoro Jigging and Slow Pitch Rod family will include a total of seven models that come in both spinning and casting configurations. This includes three casting speed jig / bottom fishing rods ranging from five-foot eight inches to six-foot and actions ranging from heavy to extra-extra heavy. The family will also feature two casting and two spinning slow pitch rods that are all six-foot eight-inches with medium-light and medium actions.
Tesoro Jigging Rods are crafted with components intended to ensure an unparalleled fishing experience. The Sea Guide stainless steel deep pressed guide frames and Zirconium inserts offer compatibility for both braid and mono lines, ensuring smooth and tangle-free casting. Utilizing Fuji reel seats, known for their maximum performance and reliability, anglers can assure they will always have a secure connection between the rod and reel. Slow pitch rods models will feature spiral wrapped guides to reduce torque, as well as split rear grips with custom protective spacer to provide comfort. Additionally, the speed jig models are designed with full rear and fore tapered TPE grips for improved handling. All models are equipped with a heavy-duty hook keeper for attaching jigs, making them the perfect choice for serious jigging enthusiasts.
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").
