I can't rate there rods as I have never fished one, but the reels are VERY GOOD for the $$. I use Okuma for all my fly reels the Sierra 5-6(drag is a little weak on this one, but its only for trout to 18") on my 6wt. and the Integrity large-arbor reels on my 7wt. & 9wt (for the $$ don't think they can be beat, used on really big trout and some steelhead & salmon). The Epix 30(running 8-12 lb. mono.) is a great spinning reel for working over steelhead & and coho and I have others costing twice as much to compare it to(read; Shimano Stradic)........ thumbs
