TULALA Oikaze 68 (Bait)

Oikaze68: The Versatile Light Offshore Bait Rod

Experience the comfort of a refreshing breeze like that of the Oikaze while fishing from a mini boat or kayak. Funky Yamaoka has produced this light offshore bait rod, emphasizing versatility to accommodate limited gear and lure options.

Key Features

1. Designed for Versatility
   The Oikaze68 rod is crafted to excel in various offshore game scenarios, including kayaking, mini boating, and charter fishing. Funky Yamaoka, an expert in kayak fishing and diverse offshore fishing techniques, collaborated closely on this project. The need for versatility arose from the restrictions often encountered in kayak fishing, where space is limited, necessitating a rod that can handle multiple fishing styles.
2. Ideal Length for Kayak Fishing
   At 6 feet 8 inches, the Oikaze68's length is crucial for effective maneuvering in a kayak. Anglers often fish while seated, making it essential to have a rod that allows for optimal line management. This length strikes the right balance, enabling anglers to cast and work lures effectively from both sides of the kayak.
3. Recommended Line and Lure Compatibility
   For the best performance, a PE line of 1 and a 16-20 lb leader are recommended. The rod is well-suited for casting plugs up to 1 oz and vertical jigs weighing around 100g. It can handle max weights up to 140g, making it suitable for slow jigging and Tai rubber fishing.
4. Spiral Guide Setting
   The guide setup features a spiral arrangement designed to reduce line tangles and improve efficiency when fighting fish directly below. This setup enhances the rod's performance and ensures that anglers can effectively target larger species, such as yellowtail and 80cm-class snapper, thanks to the rod's robust yet flexible Tsurara blank construction.

Conclusion

The Oikaze68 is the ultimate choice for anglers seeking a versatile rod that can adapt to various offshore fishing environments. With its thoughtful design, suitable length, and robust construction, this rod is perfect for those who want to enjoy the thrill of fishing while managing limited gear on a kayak or mini boat. Whether you're casting plugs, jigging, or using Tai rubber, the Oikaze68 is ready to help you reel in your next big catch.
