I'm running 2 outfits at the moment.
The first is an Okuma X-Factor EGI rod (there's 2 models) and the just announce Rapala T-Spec EGI rod.
Both are mated to Okuma Trio 20 reels & 6 pound braid.
The specs for the Okumas are:
XF-802SQL - EGI 2.0-3.0 - PE 0.6-1.2
XF-802SQM - EGI 2.5-4.0 - PE 0.8-1.5
Fuji guides & reel seat.
The Rapala Specs:
TS-822EGI - EGI 2.0-3.5 - PE 0.6-1.2
Fuji SIC guides & Fuji moulded reel seat & Japanese Graphite.
I haven't got any good pics of the Okuma or Rapala at the moment, but can post later if there's interest.
The Okuma 802SQL is not bad, but the action, feel & balance of the Rapala T-Spec is magic (though I could be biased)
I'm not aware of any of these rods being available in stores just yet, but no doubt those who are interested can ask their tackle shop to get them in.
