A redesigned lineup of technique-specific bass rods built for competitive performance.
ONTARIO, Calif.-Serious bass anglers on the tournament trail demand gear that is balanced, comfortable, and responsive enough to perform through long days and high-pressure moments. Okuma Fishing Tackle introduces the new Tournament Concept Series “B” Rods, a technique-specific lineup engineered for competitive bass fishing where every cast can mean the difference between cashing a check or heading home early.
At the core of each Tournament Concept Series “B” rod is a responsive and durable 30-ton carbon blank designed to deliver long-lasting strength with heightened sensitivity. The carbon construction extends through the tip, helping anglers detect subtle bites and bottom transitions while maintaining the backbone needed for confident, repeated hooksets. This balance of sensitivity and durability supports the demands of modern tournament fishing, ensuring consistent performance without sacrificing long-term strength.
Each model features a custom-designed reel seat with aluminum and carbon fiber locknut components that deliver a secure connection and premium feel. A tapered TPE rear split grip improves balance and enhances all-day comfort while supporting precise casting control. Fuji K-Concept guide frames help reduce wind knots and are paired with Fuji FazLite guide inserts to provide smooth, reliable line flow. Comfort and reduced weight remained key priorities throughout development, enabling anglers to fish longer and stay focused on performance.
“We built this rod the way tournament bass anglers actually fish.” said Daniel Ramos, Associate Product Developer at Okuma Fishing Tackle. “It needed to be lightweight, balanced in your hand, and sensitive enough to detect the smallest changes, while still having the power to drive a hook home every time. That balance was the priority from day one.”
The Tournament Concept Series “B” lineup includes 15 models, with four spinning and eleven casting options that cover today’s most essential bass fishing techniques. The updated series introduces several standout additions, including a 7’6” medium-light spinning rod designed for finesse presentations and forward-facing sonar applications, a 7’5” casting rod built for bladed jig techniques, and a versatile 7’3” medium-heavy casting rod suited for a wide range of applications.
The Okuma Tournament Concept Series “B” Rods are backed by a one-year limited warranty. For more information about the Tournament Concept Series “B” and other Okuma products, visit www.okumafishingusa.com.
