The Okuma PCH Custom PCH-C-801XH is an 8-foot, one-piece casting rod with an extra-heavy power and a fast action. It is built on a 24-ton carbon blank with a woven carbon wrap and a reinforced tip, and it carries a machined aluminum ALPS reel seat and a full Wells grip. It suits anglers throwing heavy lures and line in the 30 to 60 pound range at big fish.
