Okuma nomad travel rods reviews, how would you like to rate okuma nomad travel rods.

For big species

Heavy and strong construction. For the bid game,

For heavy jiggs only

Unless u plan to drop heavy jiggs for tuna or other big fish this rod is not the typical all around travel boat rod. Quality and proce is great and unmatchable. However, I found it to me to heavy for my needs. Also… u need a 8000+ series reel for this in case u don’t have one.

Great travel rod!

This is the perfect travel rod! high quality components and a great carrying case.

The Most Versatile Fresh and Salt Water All-In-One Spinning Rod!

I used this rod in freshwater with the Medium tip, then went to salt water with the MH tip. It has great action and with both tips, and it feels like a one-piece rod. I want to order the travel Surf rod now that is 10 foot. I use to pay $50 to ship my rods from California to Florida (one way) with United State Postal Service, and would have to do this one week before arriving, … read more then I would have to spend another $50 to ship them back. Now, I can just Carry them on the plane with me, and save the shipping costs. Even though the Okuma Travel Rods cost more initially, they will pay for themselves in the long run. And the Nomad Travel Rod has a lifetime warranty. Thank you Tackle Direct for making it possible for me to afford an Okuma Travel Rod!

Rod is great- super high quality

Very sturdy excellent quality came with case too

Sweet Travel Rod

Well made great looking rod. The spigot ferrule will take some getting used to, the gap when seated does not feel right and looks awkward. Performance will be the real judge, I will trust the rod's designers to know their craft. The rod has one hell of a backbone and should have no problem landing an AJ.

The rod are so nice and look like it very well made

Top quality but to heavy for casting all day

Great Truck Rod

Great portable rod to keep in the truck, or car. I drive to and from work via the ocean and stop often cast for a bit. Great little rod for that, or just skip work :-)

Almost perfect travel rod

it is a very cool travel rod, was more than i expected from a travel rod that is 60lb rate for braid with MH tip,

Excellent travel rod

I took it to the Keys for Mahi-Mahi fishing. It was fantastic! I hooked into a couple of Tuna as well. I was glad I had a strong rod. Excellent value!!

Its a good rod

its really good i like and is well to use

Seriously heavy duty travel rod

Bought this for deep dropping from a head oat, while traveling with the family. It should handle 16 ounces of lead and meat while dragging for tilefish without a problem. It's not light, but the quality is really good. Since I can't take a one piece in the van with the kids, this is the best option.

Versatile, compact, good looking rod

Okuma Nomad Travel Rods Questions and Answers

Ask a question, the medium light okuma noma travel rod reel set is fit on lexa wnn 300 model.

The Daiwa Lexa WN Baitcasting Reel 300 size does fit on this rod but it is not ideal. Rather than a baitcaster I suggest pairing this rod with a conventional reel.

Hi, Will the guides of this rod handles braid fishing lines? Thanks for advice/ recommendation. Vic

Absolutely! These rods are built to be fished with braided lines.

Hi John, Thanks for the previous information you have given me, re. Okuma Nomad Travel Rods. I have bought the Model, NT-S-703L-ML from TackleDirect sometime ago but as of this time have not use it. I am also planning to buy the spinning reel and braid

Jose, I recommend you take a look at the 3000 or 4000 Shimano Stradic Ci4.

Hello I have a travel rod in the 15 to 40 pound range and looking for a good reel to pair with it that I can use a reel clamp with the ALPS triangular reel seat. I can't find a reel that can fit on the reel seat with a clamp. Suggestions?

Wil, I checked out a couple of reels in the Avet line. The smallest reel that will fit your rod is the LX and JX. The combo feels very good in your hand and is very balanced.

im looking at the nt-c-703m-mh model travel rod. I cant tell if its a spinning rod or not.

That specific rod you mentioned would be paired with a spinning reel.

How long is the rod I'm case after taking apart for traveling on airplane

The length of the rod case is 32 inches.

The nomad 20-60 travel rod would it be good to pair it with a Penn squall 40ld.

The Okuma Nomad Travel Rods 20-60 would pair well with the Penn Squall 40LD.

hi, would this rod pair well with a shimano thunnus 8000? If so what line would you recommend. Or do you recommend another rod for kingfish and smaller tuna etc. thanks

The Shimano Thunnus with 50 lb power would be a good fit for the Okuma Nomad.

are these available in a conventional rod (casting), not spinning

The NT-C models are casting and the NT-S models are spinning.

would an aver jx raptor with 65 lb power pro work with this rod

An Avet JX would pair well with model number NT-C-663M-MH.

i want pair Okuma Nomad NT-S-703M-MH with my Penn Battle II 6000. I have heard the reel doesn't fit all rods, so i want to make sure if these two are compatible before i place the order. can you please help?

I just tested the 6000 size battle on the Nomad NT-S-703M-MH and the reel is too big. i would recommend using a size 4000 Battle on the Nomad rod.

Looking at the Fin-Nor Lethal reels for my Okuma Nomad NT-S-703M-MH. What size Lethal would be best? Thx

The Fin Nor Lethal 20 would be the the best match for versatility and durability between the rod and the reel.

Will the NT-S-703M-MH pair well with the Shimano Saragosa 10000?

The 10000 would be a bit heavy for the NT-S-703M-MH. The 8000 would be the best size to pair the model rod your choosing.

8500 SSVI would be on the heavy side for casting applications, but if that is not a concern that would be a good option for your listed applications. Should cover all of your bases rather well.

Are the line ratings of the nomad rods based on braid or on mono?<br>

The rod is rated for both mono and braided lines. If you look in order chart, you'll see the line rating section. The first group of numbers is for mono, while the second is for braid. For example, the M/MH version is rated for 15-30 lb. test mono and 20-

<span>Hi Rogelio, Unfortunately the Okuma Nomad Travel Rods are Discontinued at this time and we will not be receiving anymore in anytime soon. Instead I would recommend a Okuma NTx-C-703MH Nomad Xpress Travel Casting Boat Rod. </span><a>https://www.tackl

how many ounces can these rods handle when casting?

The manufacture does not list a lure rating per their website here is the link:<a href="https://www.okumafishing.com/en/product/Nomad-Travel-Rod/Nomad-Travel-rod.html" target="_blank">https://www.okumafishing.com/en/product/Nomad-Travel-Rod/Nomad-Travel-r

The light model comfortable for inshore cast and what is the weight of this ??

18.4 oz's The rod is stout but can be used for inshore fishing

The 703NTC 7'L-ML can handle a 100lbs tuna or catfish???

While the rods are very well built it would be a stretch to use this for 100+lb tuna or catfish.

Would a Penn Fierce2LL6000 reel fit/pair on these rods? If not what would you suggest?

They would fit and balance out well another option would be the 5500 spinfisher

This is made of china or japan

Kolomna, Russia

Tours, Attractions and Things To Do in Kolomna

Kolomna travel guide.

• 2. Attractions

Kolomna, Russia will delight history buffs with its ancient beauty and spirituality. Like Moscow, Kolomna was founded in the 12th century and today is regarded as the spiritual capital of the Moscow suburbs. The compact city is located 115 kilometers from the capital and is home to about 140,000 people .

Kolomna History

The first mention of Kolomna dates back to 1177, where in the Laurentian Chronicle it is described as a trade and craft center in Ryazan Principality.

Its fortuitous geographical location at the junction of the Moscow and Kolomenka Rivers allowed the city to prosper. Merchant ships transported goods along its rivers, giving Kolomna the upper hand over more inland settlements. The Moscow and Ryazan Principalities both vied for the annexation of Kolomna, and in the end Moscow was victorious and Kolomna remains a part of Moscow Oblast to this day.

There are numerous theories on the origins of Kolomna’s name, yet the most plausible is that it derived from the old word " colomenier " meaning suburb, and is a reference to Kolomna’s proximity to Moscow.

The city is associated with many historical events. During the Mongolian invasion of Russia in 1238, Kolomna served as a fortress, a battlefield and a gathering place for Russian troops. Kolomna was also the launching point for Russian soldiers to the famous Battle of Kulikovo in 1380. The ensuing triumph for the Russians was of great national importance, for not only did they secure victory over the fearsome Golden Horde, but the many principalities which were represented on the battlefield became symbolic of the emergence of the ethnic Russian people.

The construction of Kolomna Kremlin , the city’s landmark monument of ancient Russian architecture, contributed to the strategic importance of Kolomna in 1525-31. Its fortress walls and towers were built under Basil III, father of Ivan the Terrible. Its walls were 4.5 meters thick and equipped with seventeen towers, some of which could even be moved to defend any gaps formed in the wall, making a siege of the fortress nearly impossible. To date, seven of these towers are still standing, the most famous being the eight-story Marinkina Tower, where the royal Marina Mniszech was once held as prisoner.

By the 17th century, Kolomna had lost its military and strategic importance and gradually evolved into a wealthy trade city. In 1781 the city received a coat of arms, which today is its historical symbol.

At present, Kolomna is growing as a tourist attraction. In and around Kolomna there are more than 420 monuments of national significance, and many day trips are organized from Moscow to Kolomna, a trip which can be made by train, bus or car .

Kolomna Attractions

A unique representation of ancient Russian architecture, Kolomna Kremlin is a must-see. It can easily take a full day to tour, so plan accordingly. In addition to the central Cathedral Square, be sure to tour the jaw-dropping Assumption Cathedral with its magnificent iconostasis, Resurrection Church, Tikhvinsky Cathedral and the unmistakable Tent Bell Tower, all situated within Kolomna Kremlin. Several historic Kolomna homes and manors complete the idyllic layout.

Outside the Kremlin are the Waterman Monument, 12 th -century Church of Nikola on Posada and whimsical Old Golutvinsky Monastery. Kolomna Pastila Factory Museum promises sweet marshmallows to visitors, while Museum Forging Settlementoffers a glimpse into the city’s blacksmith industry. The Local Lore Museum provides a well-rounded look at Kolomna life and history and is the perfect way to either start or end your tour of Kolomna, Russia.

Kolomna Kremlin – ancient Russian defensive architecture

No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Architecture , History , Travel

Kolomna is a city with a population of about 143 thousand people located about 113 km southeast of Moscow . This is one of the oldest (the first mention in 1177) and the most beautiful cities of the Moscow region .

One of the main attractions of Kolomna is a partially preserved rare monument of ancient Russian defensive architecture – the grandiose Kolomna Kremlin (1525-1531). Photos by: maximus101 .

This monument shows the importance of the southern boundaries of the Moscow kingdom, because the Tatars raided it from the south. And Kolomna was the main fortress that defended Moscow from this direction.

The flat terrain of Kolomna required heavy fortifications, therefore, at the beginning of the 16th century, during the reign of Vasily III, one of the most powerful fortresses in Russia was constructed here.

The Kolomna Kremlin was built by both Moscow and Italian architects, that’s why the fortresses in Moscow and Kolomna are similar. In terms of its size, the Kolomna Kremlin is inferior to Moscow only slightly.

The Kremlin in Kolomna is similar to a lot of fortresses of northern Italy, for example, the Castle of Scaligers – Castelvecchio. Such Italian fortresses became prototypes for all Russian fortresses – in Moscow, Kolomna, Nizhny Novgorod, Tula, Ivangorod, etc.

The height of the walls of the Kolomna Kremlin is more than 20 meters. In total there were 17 towers. Such a fortification for the beginning of the 16th century was already archaic, because artillery could easily destroy such high and relatively thin walls.

But for Russia these fortresses were still relevant, since the main opponents of the Moscow kingdom were the Tatars, especially in the southern direction, and they rarely used artillery.

Monument to Dmitry Donskoy. Kolomna was a place of gathering of Russian princes before the Kulikovo battle in 1380.
