Tec Custom Series Crappie Rods

Entry-to-mid-tier crappie-specific spinning series from Okuma, positioned above the standard TEC Series by component grade. targets crappie anglers using jigs, small tube baits, and light spinners in lakes and reservoirs. The Custom label marks the use of Fuji hardware, a step up from the stainless-and-Zirconium package of the base TEC line. Suited to beginning and recreational crappie anglers; outside the performance finesse system lane. Blanks are 24-ton carbon in all four models, offering a light, responsive feel appropriate for detecting the soft takes typical of crappie.

Fuji K-Concept guide frames minimize wind knots when using light mono or fluorocarbon, and Fuji Alconite inserts reduce friction and abrasion at lower cost than SiC. Fuji VSS reel seat with aluminum locknut provides a secure but lightweight reel attachment. Fore and rear tapered cork grip. The principal advantage of the Custom over the base TEC is the Fuji guide system. All four models are spinning, all light power with fast action, and share identical line (4–8 lb) and lure (1/16–1/4 oz) ratings.

Length is the only differentiating variable: 6'0", 6'6", 6'10", and 7'3". Shorter models suit dock or brush-pile fishing from a boat; the 7'3" gives range advantage for open-water or bank fishing. Casting models, no heavier powers, this is a strictly application-specific crappie lineup is absent.
