OKUMATrout OKUCES662ULB Fishing Rod Review
Our verdict
The OKUMATrout OKUCES662ULB is a 6-foot 6-inch, single-piece ultra light rod built for trout at $35.99, and its 300+ bought last month is the highest sales figure of any rod in this comparison. Its listed 4.4-star rating carries no attached review count, so it should be weighed alongside its strong current sales pace rather than the number alone.

Trout anglers who want a dedicated ultra light spinning rod for small streams and light line, where a 2-6 pound rating and a short 6-foot 6-inch length allow for delicate presentations and easy handling in tight casting spots.
Skip if
Skip it if you fish for bass, walleye, or other larger species needing more backbone, since 2-6 pound line and ultra light action are built around trout and similarly light-biting fish. It won't hold up for surf or heavy freshwater use.

Overview
Picture working a narrow mountain stream with overhanging branches, where a short, ultra light rod matters more than casting distance. The OKUMATrout OKUCES662ULB is built for that scenario, a 6-foot 6-inch, single-piece graphite rod rated for 2-6 pound line and listed with an ultra light feature, aimed squarely at trout. At 113 grams, it is light enough for a full day of small-stream casting, and the black finish keeps things simple compared to the branded colorways on some of the other rods in this set.
Compared with the three context rods, the OKUMATrout is the lightest-rated and among the shortest. The Okuma CP-LT-762M ($43.69) runs 7.5 feet in two pieces at a 10-20 pound line rating for walleye, trout, bass and pike. The Ahi RSB-800 ($89.99) is an 8-foot, 3-piece bait rod rated 2-10 pounds. The Zebco ZCASTC56TEL ($19.99) is a 5.5-foot, 1-piece trout rod. Line-rating-wise, the OKUMATrout's 2-6 pound range is the lightest of the four, positioning it as the most specialized ultra light option in the group.
At $35.99, it undercuts the Okuma and Ahi while costing more than the Zebco. Its listed 4.4-star rating matches the Okuma's and beats the Zebco's, but with 0 reviews recorded, that figure has no backing sample yet. What stands out instead is the 300+ bought last month, well above the 50+ to 200+ range seen on the other three rods, pointing to strong current demand even ahead of an established review history.
Pros
- 300+ bought last month is the highest current sales figure among the four rods compared here
- 2-6 pound line rating is the lightest in this group, suited to delicate trout presentations
- 6-foot 6-inch length and 113-gram weight make it easy to handle on tight streams
- $35.99 price undercuts both the $43.69 Okuma and the $89.99 Ahi
- Graphite, single-piece construction keeps the build simple with no ferrule joints
Cons
- 0 reviews recorded means the listed 4.4-star rating has no visible review sample behind it yet
- 2-6 pound line rating rules out bass, walleye, or other larger species entirely
- Single-piece 6-foot 6-inch build does not break down for travel
- Ultra light action is not built for windy conditions or heavier lures

Performance notes
A 2-6 pound line rating paired with an ultra light action is built for finesse, detecting subtle strikes from trout and similarly light-biting fish rather than muscling in bigger species. The 6-foot 6-inch length is short enough to work well in tight-cover streams where a longer rod would catch on brush, and at 113 grams the whole package stays light for repeated casting through a session. Graphite construction is common for this kind of rod since it keeps weight down while still providing enough sensitivity to feel light bites transmit up the blank. Being a single piece rather than sectioned avoids any ferrule-related flex issues, though it means the rod needs a full 6.5 feet of storage space, a minor tradeoff for a rod this specialized in size and purpose.
What buyers say
The OKUMATrout OKUCES662ULB is listed at 4.4 stars but with 0 reviews recorded, so that rating currently has no visible customer feedback backing it up, unlike the Okuma, Ahi and Zebco rods, which carry ratings built on 111, 433 and 299 reviews respectively. What is notable is the 300+ bought last month figure, the highest of any rod in this comparison and well above the 50+ to 200+ range seen elsewhere. A high current sales pace without an established review count typically points to a newer listing still building its review history, so the buying pattern looks strong even though the star rating cannot yet be read with the same confidence as the other three rods.

Frequently asked questions
Why does this rod have 0 reviews but a 4.4-star rating?
The listed rating appears to reflect an early or small sample that has not yet accumulated a visible review count on the page. With 300+ bought last month, the rod is clearly selling, but buyers should treat the star rating as less established than one backed by hundreds of reviews.
Is this rod good for anything besides trout?
The 2-6 pound line rating and ultra light action are built specifically around trout and other light-biting species. It is not suited for bass, walleye, or other fish that need more backbone or a heavier line rating, unlike the Okuma in this comparison.
How does the price compare to similar rods?
At $35.99, it costs less than the $43.69 Okuma CP-LT-762M and much less than the $89.99 Ahi RSB-800, while still being pricier than the $19.99 Zebco ZCASTC56TEL, placing it in the middle of this group on price.
