I have all okumas from the classic downrigger, dipsey, leadcore, ect. I wasn't even aware there was a Coldwater rod. What is the length? I have a few of the reels and by far my favorite except Penn's. First if you don't mind me asking did you break only one? What application of fishing were you using? Down riggers, dipseys? And what pound test and did you ever use a twili tip? I think they make a huge difference. I had a classic down rigger rod break on me my second day. Mass manufacturing there's going to be some with imperfections. I am a fan of the triangular grip on the classics I wish more companies used it. I guess I will have to focus on learning some rod building this winter.
