Okuma Fishing Tackle from Taiwan is a global manufacturer of fishing reels and rods. Since its start in 1986, Okuma’s main focus has been to produce high-quality reels at a reasonable price. In its early years, Okuma only manufactured fly fishing reels, but it is now one of the world’s leading manufacturers of spinning, baitcasting, and saltwater fishing reels, as well as being highly skilled in rod production in recent years.
The number on the line class determines the fly line’s weight, in other words, how powerful the fly rod you’re using is. That’s why the intended rod’s line class determines which line class you should choose for the rest of your gear, like the fly reel and line. A fly rod in line class 3 (#3) is a lighter rod for smaller waters and smaller fish. A fly rod in class 9 (#9) is a heavier rod designed to handle larger flies and bigger fish. When matching fly fishing gear, ensure the line, reel, and rod are of the same class. The best-selling fly fishing gear in Sweden is a 9-foot rod in class 5 with a class 5 floating line (WF) and a matching reel.
