[Lafayette_River]

which rod is better, after doing some looking the om seems like the most rod for the money, never used one. i got a tica 10' that i like. the tsunami seems similar

Go with what feels best for you, and what you are fishing!

All have thier pros/cons, but all are good rods in my opinion!

..well I will share this with you..I have 2- 9' Tica's, I use for SPINNING...they are great store bought rods ...I use em for Pompano fishing ...
I have a 12 Ocean Master lite...I use it for "getting on out there"...I have a 6500 Ambassadeur on it..BUT it would work for throwing a 6/0!!!!
For HEAVY work, it would almost be impossible to beat the Ocean Master...for ANY PRICE...
By beat, I mean durability,....it ain't fragile...
If I were just throwing conventional with 5 oz. up...I'D get a OM..
IF I were looking spinning..I'd go with Tica..

Ocean Master gets my vote.

I've had three Ticas. A 12', 11'6" and a 9'. I sold all of them except the 9'.

The big Ticas are more like a lite heavers, IMHO. I find anything more than 6oz and bait will make them sluggish on the cast.

I must have replaced 5 guide rings in those three Ticas. They have a tendency to just pop out. In fact, the ring in the tip of my 9' Tica popped out the very first time I used it. Pain in the arse.

I hear they are putting Fuji guides in their new Dolphin series. I just don't know if they are making a conventional heaver in that line yet.

The most important factor? I've seem them break when fighting a big fish.

And I've heard several people say they've broken them on the cast.

Never owned or tossed a Tsumani. Kinda like a Tica in action, so I would think.

I really like the OM Cape Point. It's light, has very nice action and will throw a brick. It has Fuji alconite guides and a Fuji plate seat.

+And plate seats are cool. :cool:
