{"product_id":"okuma-lbs-custom-land-based-shark-fishing-rods","title":"Okuma LBS Custom Land Based Shark Fishing Rods","description":"\u003cp\u003eLand-based shark fishing is one of the most demanding ways to use a rod. Long bait casts past the breakers, hours of sustained pressure, and the raw pull of a big shark in the wash will find the weak point in any blank that wasn't built for it. The \u003cstrong\u003eOkuma LBS Custom Land Based Shark series\u003c\/strong\u003e is purpose-built for exactly that — a dedicated land-based shark (LBS) platform for anglers chasing apex predators off the sand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery rod in the series is built on a \u003cstrong\u003e24-ton carbon and E-glass blank\u003c\/strong\u003e. That layup blends the shock absorption and lifting power of glass with the backbone and recovery of carbon — so the rod loads big baits, drives hooks home at distance, and keeps pulling through a long fight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOkuma adds \u003cstrong\u003eUMR (Ultimate Matrix Reinforcement)\u003c\/strong\u003e to the blank for extra structural strength under the extreme, sustained loads these rods are built to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe components are chosen to take a beating in saltwater. \u003cstrong\u003eALPS HXN guides with Zirconium inserts\u003c\/strong\u003e keep heavy mono and braid running smooth and resist grooving.

Great for 50W - 80W sized reels but it won't fit the Makaira 130 size, for that you'd want the 7'9\" unibutt model. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7'9\" models (LBS-792):\u003c\/strong\u003e an \u003cstrong\u003eALPS RX roller tip guide\u003c\/strong\u003e to cut friction and heat under maximum drag, plus a \u003cstrong\u003edetachable aluminum butt\u003c\/strong\u003e for easier transport and storage.
