Okuma Convector Nearshore Halibut Combo

- Perfect for offshore and nearshore
- Depths up to 400'
- Handles sinkers 1-2 pounds
- Maximum strength rod & reel combo
The Rod
Okuma SST Halibut Rod is 5'6" 1-piece, which gives you a ton of leverage when battling Lingcod and Halibut. The rod is rated for 50-100 lb line, and is stout enough to handle fishing with 1-2 pounds of lead. The triangular foregrip is unique to this rod and offers a ton of leverage when you are in the midst of cranking up heavy fish from the depths of the ocean.
The Reel
Okuma Convector 45L is a great reel for fishing nearshore banks for Halibut. It is a great option if you are looking for a star-drag levelwind reel for Halibut. It holds a ton of braided line, has a reliable drag, and can handle the fight of a true barn door Halibut.
The Line
To complete this combo, we spool the reel with P-Line EndurX 65 pound braided line. The reel can fit 590 yards, and that kind of capacity allows you to fish at any depths, and in many offshore locations allows you to continue fishing even if you break off on a drift. Please choose above between the traditional Monster Green, and a high visibility Electric Green and we will spool it up for you!
