The Okuma Snakehead Junky rods are built with light and responsive 24-ton carbon rod blanks and designed specifically for chasing Snakehead. These rods feature Okuma’s UFR rod tip technology making them stronger and lighter than standard carbon rods. 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.
The components on the Snakehead Junky rods are built for durability in the harsh environments that snakeheads are found. They feature Sea Guide XO/XQ 316-stainless steel angled guide frames to reduce line twist. These guides hold Zirconium inserts that offer compatibility for both braid and monofilament lines. The rods also feature a tapered cork fore and rear grip with a rubber cork butt cap. A precision-placed stainless steel hook keeper comes standard on all models.
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").
