hi ,
im in santa maria.the rod is 7' 6" and was purchased @ tacklewarehouse . im told the tackle shop in santa maria(been there caught that) carries them and you can probably trade it in for the larger size w/out too much head ache.im told okuma has an over the counter warranty on them.dunno but the eye i replaced was furnished by okuma and works great.
let me know if your interested.maybe i can throw a lure in to sweeten the deal..lol
