This series was designed by the late captain Mel Berman; a Tampa Bay legend, professional guide, and TV/radio fishing show host. With his vast knowledge in fishing, Ohero was able to manufacture this extra light inshore rod weighing only around 4.5 ounces. The blank is made of high performance IM-8 graphite to keep weight down without compromising on strength. Premium Fuji® components are used throughout to make this an exceptional rod for all enthusiasts!
