MARK WILCOX: Action and backbone on GLT rods has been very good, as I've used them for salmon for several years. Eyelets occasionally fall out/break, but never had one become a line cutter. The copper line rods eliminate that issue and I am looking forward to many years with those.

BobBob: Caught my first salmon first time out. The rod loaded perfectly with my down rigger. So far I’m loving it.
Great action for trolling as well.

Ian E.: As a Lake Michigan salmon angler, I cannot recommend the Okuma Classic Pro GLT rods enough. These rods are an absolute must-have for anyone serious about catching salmon in the deep waters of Lake Michigan.

One of the standout features of the Classic Pro GLT rods is their incredible sensitivity. The rods are incredibly responsive, allowing you to detect even the slightest nibble from a fish. This is especially important when trolling for salmon, as they can be notoriously finicky and difficult to catch.

Another great feature of these rods is their durability. The Classic Pro GLT rods are built to last, with high-quality components that can withstand the rigors of saltwater fishing. This is essential when targeting salmon, as these fish can put up a fierce fight and can easily snap inferior rods.

Additionally, the Classic Pro GLT rods are incredibly versatile. They come in a variety of lengths and line weights, making them suitable for a wide range of fishing techniques and conditions. Whether you're trolling for salmon, casting for steelhead, or jigging for lake trout, these rods are up to the task.

VinnniE: *TLDR = budget, good flex, really good for Downrigger.

This is a good budget rod.
So far, it survive first summer of fishing. I use it mainly on downrigger setup for trout with a braid line with a 6’ fluo lead.

It can bend well and snap up to hook fish when they bite. Haven’t lost a fish so far on that rod. Can’t say the same about my other rods.
It’s too stiff for my liking on a lead core setup because you can’t see when a fish bite.
Fit and finish could be better, but I can live with that at that price
Cheers

Bri: This is my second Classic Pro GLT, with my first combo package still going strong salmon fishing in Northern California. I fish the Okuma dragging a three pound ball on a sinker release. The rod flex at the tip is good while trolling and the flex in the rod keeps a steady tension on the fish when bringing it in. I have had better luck with the Classic Pro GLT then a number of gifted West Coast expensive rods that broke (twice) and had to be returned for the "lifetime warranty" that cost 75 bucks to replace the rod. When I was last out using the replaced "high end" rod I noticed the tip eye was starting to come apart so I decided a backup rod was needed. Looking at my Okuma that has gone on all the fishing trips the " West Coast " rod has gone on, the Okuma Rod looks great, all the eyes have stayed together, it hasn't broke, and it fishes well so i ordered another one. Just a quick update. Went out on a six pack party boat and found the supplied rods were these rods. Crew said they liked em and they kept the fish on the barbless hook nicely.
