Okuma Guide Select Perch & Zander Ruoto Special - are Ruoto's own special rods in the Okuma Guide Select rod series. The Okuma Guide Select Perch & Zander Ruoto Special spinning rods are designed and made for perch and zander jigging. During the rod's development process, Okuma's product development team collaborated with Ruoto's staff regarding both functionality and appearance. The rod was tested throughout the entire open water season of 2022 by several Finnish anglers.

Okuma Guide Select Perch & Zander Ruoto Special rods feel much more expensive than they are, as they are lightweight and well-balanced, making it easy to build an efficient setup when paired with a high-quality 1000 size spinning reel. 

The rod's unique appearance, different from the mainstream, appeals to the Finnish soul - after all, it is a product designed specifically for Finland. The rod's blue and white handle is made of EVA foam, which feels warm, provides a firm grip, and is easy to keep clean. 

Available in two versions:

• Okuma Guide Select 7'4" 7-23g
  Softer and longer version, an excellent rod for perch fishing with wobblers, spintail lures, and trolling jigs, but also works great for bottom jigging.
• Okuma Guide Select Perch & Zander 6'7" 10-28g
  A powerful blank that allows you to fish effectively for perch and zander. An excellent rod for bottom jigging, but also works well with heavier wobblers, blade, and spintail lures for perch and zander.

Okuma ITX - is a new addition to Okuma's spinning reel lineup and is loaded with the finest features familiar from Okuma spinning reels. The innovative materials and structural solutions used in the Okuma ITX ensure an unprecedentedly precise retrieval feel and reliability.

The frame and rotor of the Okuma ITX are made of C-40X long-strand carbon fiber, making the reel both lightweight and very torsionally rigid, keeping the reel's mechanics stable and backlash-free. The Okuma ITX's highly efficient and precisely functioning multi-disc carbon fiber drag is protected from water by Okuma's Hydro-Block seal, ensuring the drag's performance even in demanding conditions. The Okuma ITX's slow cross-wrap allows for even line spooling with both multi-fiber and monofilament lines, and the precisely beveled spool lip ensures long and tangle-free casts. The machined aluminum handle of the ITX screws directly into the reel's body, providing a backlash-free and solid retrieval feel, and the secure Winn Grip handle knob completes the firm grip. The Okuma ITX's stainless steel HPB bearings and structural solutions make it a reliable companion for both lake and sea use.

The fast retrieve ratio of the Okuma ITX spinning reels makes them ideal for fishing techniques that favor manual retrieves, such as jigging, trout fishing, and pike casting.

The Okuma ITX range offers an excellent choice for different needs:

The 1000 series reel is the top choice for perch, zander e jigging, stream fishing, and other slightly lighter fishing methods.
