User questions & answers

Question:	What are the line weight and lure weight specs for this rod
Answer:	Amazon has consistently been very competitive, if you search and find a better price somewhere else, buy it if it's a better price.
Question:	How long is this rod
Answer:	I have three running full time and that has never happened to me. What protein are you using.
Question:	This rod is arriving today. i have 2x penn slammer lll reels, a 4500 and a 6500. which one would better pair with this road for ca surf perch fishing
Answer:	The round legs SUCK! I have two of these and the reason I have two is that my first one has square legs. Phenomenal feeder (square legs) because it’s very stout. The round legs diminish the quality by far. Shaky legs that come is 3 sections. Makes the entire feeder seem like it was made in China. If the square legs aren’t an option, don’t buy.
Question:	Is this brand new in the box
Answer:	The product i ordered is only the gravity function. The spin motor function is separate, but I believe it can be ordered separately and fitted to the model i received.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone thrown a 4oz weight with this rod? How did it perform
Answer:	Yes it will perform as you want it to as long as you go with the MH action. I use 4oz spider weights plus the weight of large baits and this rod will throw them. It handles bull redfish and sharks with no problem. If you plan on throwing weights greater than 6oz I would recommend going with XH.
Question:	What csx stands for? and what is the difference between cedros surf and cedros surf csx
Answer:	The CSX is the newest generation of the Cedros surf rods. The Cedros CSX rod is lighter and features smaller guides and an upgraded reel seat with aluminum hood and locking nut.
Question:	Is this as sensitive as the Hawaiian Custom Menpachi rod
Answer:	No not quite but really close considering how much weight it can handle I have both the 12 and 13 ft Hawaiian custom Menpachi rods but I love this pole I paired it with a 6000 conflict I and 50# daiwa braided it’s good all day every day
Question:	Is it 50/50 rod
Answer:	I don't know. What is a 50/50 rod?

User questions & answers

Question:	Just wondering what reels you all have been putting on the ML-M inshore rod. I see some Cedros 40 and 50. Just want to get the perfect one. Thanks
Answer:	I use the Cedros 40clf on mine. I have put a 50 on it too. The 40 manages good sized Redfish, Stripers up to 39" and small Mahi Mahi, Lesser Amberjacks, Bonito, Albacore and Yellow Tail. I use food braid and dampen that with flurocarbon leader. Drag is the issue and line test that will not over stress the rods test weight. I believe you will be happy with the combinations.
Question:	Just wondering what reels you all have been putting on the ML-M inshore rod. I see some Cedros 40 and 50. Just want to get the perfect one. Thanks
Answer:	I'd go with the 40. I have the quantum Cabo 40 on it and it balances perfectly. Since everyone has different preference, you should just try it on b4 you buy if you want the perfect match.
Question:	What is the length of the the longest section? I'm thinking about pack-ability. The product description indicates 16" but that does not add up
Answer:	I have the NTi-S-703ML-M 7' model this the longest of the three sections is 30" and the case is about 32". It does fit well in the overhead compartment on a plane.
Question:	What do you think is a better fit/balance for this rod? The Cedros 40 or the 55? Thanks
Answer:	I would go with the Cedros 40, although I use the the Okuma Avenger ABF65. It has been a great combo for me..

User questions & answers

Question:	Handle length
Answer:	Great question. Since corn is heavier than standard protein pellets, this feeder will hold approximately 800 lbs of Corn.
Question:	are these 1 pc or 2 pc rods
Answer:	Yes! You can put corn in all Texas Hunter Protein Feeders, and many customers do. You can also mix corn and protein feed. With the Adjustable Feed Flow Baffles that are included and recessed inside each feed port, you can open or close - giving you total control over the flow of any dry deer feed including corn and protein pellets. Deer, Elk and other wildlife love it!

User questions & answers

Question:	would this be a good rod to troll for striped marlin? 40-100 lb tuna on small boat not big overnight party boat
Answer:	Yes there is a 1 year warranty. I broke the rod tip then contacted Okuma and they sent me a brand new top half of the rod with no charge.
Question:	What is the line rating for this rod
Answer:	Guys in Hawaii dunk with this rod all the time.
Question:	is it fiberglass or graphite or composite
Answer:	1 piece.
Question:	Will the Shimano Tranx 400 be a good match for this rod
Answer:	The rod I have does not have the split grip. The grip is continuous from reel seat to butt. The BG 4500 will work on the rod. The 5000 would probably be a little better because it is a pretty powerful rod. I have a Quantum Cabo 80 on mine.

User questions & answers

Question:	what size lures can it throw? I need to be able to chuck a 3 -5 oz. lure
Answer:	The MH rod will cast 3-5 oz. it's a pretty heavy stick.
Question:	Does this come with a bag or case
Answer:	It *should* come with a bag. They did when they first came out, and they do from "official distributors". I would message the seller here and confirm. You should get one. Great sticks!
Question:	Hi, will this Okuma Nomad travel rod (NT-S-703M-MH) pair well with the Okuma Avenger Baitfeeder 50a (Okuma ABF-50a) spinning reel
Answer:	The Nomad rod is a pretty heavy duty stick. With the lighter medium tip, it would work with the Baitfeeder 50a, but I would find it out of balance. (Over-rodded, under-reeled. A 7000-8000 size spinning reel is a good balance. I sometimes use a Penn Spinfisher 7500 on mine. For Conventional reels, a 30-50 size is about right. If you are set on using the Baitfeeder 50a, Okuma also offers a Nomad Xpress, which is the same rod blank, but lighter and smaller grips and hardware, and comes in a 20-40 line weight model, which would be about perfect. (only one tip, but a lot more reasonable $)
Question:	what are the lengths of the sections
Answer:	3 sections of 28 inches (70 cm) each
