Okuma PCH Custom Conventional Rods

The Okuma PCH Custom Conventional Rods are designed specifically for West Coast anglers. The PCH Custom is lightweight and sensitive with enough strength and backbone to get fish to the boat, making it the perfect choice for offshore trolling and conventional fishing applications.

The backbone to the PCH Custom rods is the patented blank construction process, called Unidirectional Fiber Reinforcement or UFR-II. This patented process blends unidirectional fiber over 24-ton carbon in the extended tip section of the rod to increase lifting strength and power. UFR-II provides strength without sacrificing sensitivity, so anglers can feel the lightest of bites while having the power to battle trophy fish.

Updated Models: Okuma changed to updated models that have a light gray Okuma aluminum reel seat instead of the previous dark gray ALPS reel seat (January 2026).
