ok now i know of the 2 oti jig rods and the 7 foot spinner what other rods does oti have out or are still in prototype/ pre production, also the 80lb spinner 2 piece blank is that just a blank or will they make some ready to fish like the blue one shown in pics

They will not be selling blanks.. only finished rods.. I think that Tj and Tom are off getting ready to fish a tournament.. they will answer as soon as they see this..
check out their site and see what they have available for sale..
I think its all but the 2piece spinner..
I did buy one of their 7ft spinning popper rod..

thanks for the response I figured i might as well ask instead of just waiting to hear or see it on the site. how do you like the 7' popper rod, and if you dont mind goin into detail i have a few questions about that rod. what reels do you use with it, what size/ kind of line, and fish caught on it ?

Bret · 07-31-2007, 06:21 PM

Well, I have a penn 9500 on it right now.. I have only fished it once and the conditions didnt allow for me to throw poppers. I did cast it and the rod loads well and casts farther than my other spinners.. after I catch some fish with it I will report back with something worthwhile.

EDIT: Tom (Ragman) posted this below as TJ had used my laptop yesterday and I didn't know he was still logged in to the site!

Hey Tony!

We had some boat problems that caused us to pull out of TIFT, but we'll be fishing the big Cabo Billfish tourney in October next.

OTI has three rods for sale right now, 5'6" and 6' conv. jigging, and a 7' spinner rod.

We have 2 rods that are still in PRE-production, but we look to begin production very soon!

One last note, you've mentioned the 'blue' color of the blank of the 7'6". The rod will be the same color as our existing rods.

The blue you refer to is only in the photo and I guess was caused by the camera flash or other lighting.

wow now that you say that it doesnt look as blue as when i first saw it o well that woulda been pretty sweet if it was blue but im gunna buy it anyway

Hey MrBill!

TJ and I got a car and drove home last night.

The boat had some fuel problems and the starboard engine was blowing black smoke out of the exhaust.
