The Okuma SST New Generation Spinning Rod series includes fishing rods with either carbon grips or cork grips and are developed to be technique and species-specific tools. SST carbon grip spinning rods feature 3K woven carbon fore and rear grips built upon sensitive IM-8 graphite blanks. The SST cork grip rods use premium fore and rear grips on all models and integrate a compressed cork butt cap with a non-skid surface. A custom IM-8 graphite pipe reel seat is placed on most cork grip spinning rods. Additionally, the cork grip spinning rods collection includes three and four-piece travel rods! The entire New Generation Spinning Rod family displays selections with many actions and powers. Further, all include stainless steel guide frames with zirconium inserts (adds durability and reduces line friction when using braided lines), a stainless steel hook keeper, and are backed by Okuma’s one-year warranty. Salmon, steelhead, and trout anglers certainly can find the right spinning rod to match their needs when reviewing the selections here in the Okuma SST New Generation Spinning Rod series!
