Bush 'n Beach Fishing Magazine Location reports & tips for fishing, boating, camping, kayaking, 4WDing in Queensland and Northern NSW
Requests from anglers and the popularity of the Okuma Barbarian range of spin rods has inspired the release of the Barbarian Pro range, featuring upgrades across key models.
Praised as having the perfect actions for targeting bait fishing favourites – such as whiting, bream and luderick – the Pro series has maintained those soft tips, smooth actions and power in the butt section that allows fish to eat the bait with minimal resistance, while keeping hooks in the fish during the fight.
Along with the aesthetic upgrade of a deep blue blank, with pale blue tip and bright blue branding, these rods feature upgraded guides to premium SeaGuide stainless-steel guides with zirconia rings, an ergonomic cut-out reel seat and low-profile EVA grips, both reducing weight and increasing feel.
Okuma’s patented UFR technology in the tip section of the rod is designed so that long strand fibres running the length of the tip increases the strength and lifting power by up to three times that of a standard rod blank.
A two-piece design makes for simple transport and storage of all models.
Classic bait fishing actions, in a slick and modern range of rods, offering anglers a true sportfishing rod for targeting fish on bait.
Available in 7’0”, 9’0”, 10’0” and 10’6” models, with a suggested retail price starting from $99.90.
