Okuma Surf 8K spinning reel was developed in partnership with top surf casting experts to ensure anglers achieve maximum casting distance on every throw. It's a robust reel, ideal for tackling the surf and the most challenging fights.
The key to its long casting ability is its winning combination: the long-stroke conical spool (45mm) drastically minimizes line resistance, while the Slow Oscillation System further reduces friction during the cast and ensures an exceptionally straight and tight line lay upon retrieval, thanks to the worm shaft transmission system.
Built with a durable graphite body, the Surf 8K houses six stainless steel bearings and a Quick-Set anti-reverse for instant hooksets. The Fast Progressive Drag system, boasting a massive 40 lbs (approx. 18 kg) of power, allows for instant stopping power, moving from low to near-full drag in less than a 360° turn.
Corrosion resistance is top-tier: the Hydro Block seal protects the drag system from water, while the proprietary Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR) technology expels moisture from the reel housing with a cyclone-like airflow. Details such as the Rotor Brake System (which prevents rotor turning during the cast) and brush guards (which prevent line twist) make the Surf 8K a reliable and long-lasting reel for demanding surf casting.
