The Okuma GLS Steelhead rods are built with light and responsive 30-ton carbon rod blanks which are designed with actions that salmon and steelhead fishermen require. With eight total models in the GLS Steelhead lineup, you are bound to find the action that you are looking for. Seven of the nine rods are spinning models with the final two being casting versions. They range from 9-feet to 12-feet in length and feature actions in Light, Medium Light, Medium, and Medium Heavy. The Dual Helix wrap design with over 6000 strands of carbon thread keeps these rods strong and light. The GLS series feature Okuma UMR rod tip technology that reduces weight and increases strength.
The components of the GLS Steelhead series are top-notch and were chosen specifically with a full day on the water in mind. Premium deep press stainless steel Sea Guide frames hold on to oversized Zirconium guide inserts to reduce freezing and increase compatibility with both braided and monofilament lines. All rods feature Fuji ACS or TVS reel seats depending on whether you have a spinning or casting model. The specialized TPE and premium cork grip configuration keep the rods comfortable and you in the game longer.
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").
