The Okuma Steelhead Combo pairs the Epixor XT spinning reel with the Guide Select Pro 9-foot medium spinning rod, creating a purpose-built setup for steelhead fishing. This combo delivers performance-grade components at an accessible price, making it well-suited for drift fishing, float fishing, and side-drifting techniques on rivers.

The Epixor XT spinning reel features Okuma's C-40X long-strand carbon fiber TCA (Torsion Control Armor) frame construction for reduced twisting and superior rigidity. It is equipped with 7 stainless steel ball bearings plus 1 roller bearing, a quick-set anti-reverse bearing, and a precision machine-cut brass pinion gear. The slow oscillation system delivers an exceptional line lay optimized for braided line. Additional reel features include multi-disc Japanese oiled felt drag washers, CFR (Cyclonic Flow Rotor) technology, RESII computer-balanced rotor equalizing system, a machined aluminum 2-tone anodized spool with LCS lip, and a heavy-duty solid aluminum bail wire. The reel carries a 1-year limited warranty.

The Guide Select Pro rod is constructed with 30/40-ton graphite for ultra-sensitive bite detection with enough backbone for long-drift hook sets. It features premium ALPS stainless steel guide frames with ALPS super hard aluminum oxide L-ring guide inserts, providing smooth, low-friction line flow throughout the cast and retrieve. The 9-foot medium power rating offers the ideal blend of sensitivity and lifting power for steelhead in moving water.
