Okuma Salina spinning reel is specifically designed and optimized for saltwater use, combining a rigid design with extreme stopping power. It is the ideal choice for anglers seeking a robust, light, and reliable reel for the saltwater game.

Strength and lightness are ensured by the LITECAST® construction, a design that offers the rigidity and durability of aluminum but is 15% lighter than previous Azores reels. This robust frame is the foundation for the Salina's incredible drag power.

The heart of the power is the Carbonite Dual Force Drag (DFD) System, which maximizes braking pressure by engaging both spool surfaces simultaneously, reaching an impressive maximum power of 20 kg (44 lbs). This system is protected by the Hydro Block seal and uses Cal's Drag Grease, ensuring stability and smoothness. The Gear Stabilization Design supports the pinion gear at 3 points, maintaining perfect alignment even under heavy loads.

To maximize durability in marine environments, the Salina is equipped with 6 high-performance stainless steel ball bearings (HPB) that resist corrosion and benefits from the CRC (Corrosion Resistant Coating) process. The Even Flow Roller (EFR II) with DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating reduces line friction and prevents wear.

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.
