Okuma Slow Hunter series is designed to redefine slow jigging, offering a high-end tool that blends extreme sensitivity with raw power. These rods are specifically engineered for European anglers and are ideal for mastering deep slow jigging.

The core of this rod is the exclusive Air Power Tech technology, which innovatively combines the strength of solid carbon with the classic sensitivity of a hollow blank. The result is an incredibly powerful yet ultra-slim and perfectly balanced blank (or blade), ensuring all-day comfort. Despite the slim blank, the Slow Hunter offers extreme lifting power to handle demanding fights.

The components are selected for unmatched durability and performance at sea:

Guides: Durable Fuji O double-footed guides ensure robustness and optimal line management.
Finish: Resistant blank coating with integrated protection, enhancing its longevity in the marine environment.

The rod is engineered to provide excellent control, durability, and performance throughout the slow retrieve process and the fight. For the ultimate setup, Okuma recommends pairing the Slow Hunter with the Tesoro LD conventional reel.

Key Features:

Type: Specialist Slow Jigging Rod.
Blank Technology: Air Power Tech (combining solid carbon strength with hollow blank sensitivity).
Blank (Blade): Ultra-slim, powerful, and perfectly balanced.
Power: Extreme lifting power for challenging fights.
Guides: Durable Fuji O double-footed guides.

Recommended for:

Slow Jigging Specialists: Ideal for those practicing this technique at great depths who need a rod that transmits every touch with extreme sensitivity while maintaining a power reserve for the fight.
Demanding Anglers: Perfect for those seeking slim, balanced blanks with high-quality components (Fuji).

Okuma Salina Tuna series is a line of high-precision spinning rods, specifically engineered for catching tuna of all sizes, setting a new standard for offshore tuna fishing gear.

To handle the immense power of these large pelagic species, the Salina Tuna features an exceptionally powerful high-modulus carbon blank, optimized to withstand intense battles. The blank structure is 1+1 (one piece plus a detachable handle section), meticulously designed to ensure the ideal curve under load. This specific action helps anglers minimize physical strain during the prolonged fight against the fish.

The components are top-tier, designed for durability in extreme marine environments:

Reel Seat: Reliable Fuji reel seat.
Guides: SeaGuide New Concept guides featuring Zirconia inserts (to reduce friction and heat) and SS316 stainless steel frames (maximum corrosion resistance).
Gimbal: Equipped with a rubber gimbal to enhance stability and comfort when fighting fish with a belt.

Since tuna often swim in schools of similar-sized individuals, the Salina Tuna is built to deliver the power and reliability needed for multiple, demanding fishing sessions. For optimized performance, Okuma recommends pairing this rod with a high-end spinning reel such as the Tesoro or Salina from Okuma.

Key Features:

Type: Specialist Tuna Spinning Rod (Offshore).
Blank: High-Modulus Carbon (exceptionally powerful).
Structure: 1+1 (One piece with a detachable handle).
Structural Advantage: Optimized curve to reduce angler strain during the fight.
Reel Seat: Fuji.
Guides: SeaGuide New Concept with Zirconia inserts and SS316 stainless steel frames (anti-corrosion).
Accessory: Rubber Gimbal for stability while fighting.
Recommended Pairing: Okuma Tesoro or Salina Spinning Reels.

Recommended for:

Offshore Tuna Anglers: Ideal for those engaging in heavy spinning offshore who need a tool that balances power with comfort during long, grueling fights.
Durability Seekers: Perfect for those demanding corrosion-resistant components (SS316, Zirconia) and a blank built to withstand high stress levels.

Okuma Tesoro spinning reel is the pinnacle of saltwater performance, designed from the ground up to offer maximum strength, durability, and unprecedented stopping power. With a staggering maximum drag power of 29.9 kg (66 lbs), the Tesoro is the ultimate tool for tackling the largest and toughest marine predators.

Exceptional robustness is guaranteed by the all-Alumilite (aluminum) body, side plate, and rotor, providing superior rigidity compared to traditional materials. To protect the internal mechanism, the reel boasts an IPX-7 rating, making it fully waterproof and protected against immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

The mechanical heart features an oversized C6191 brass drive gear and a pinion supported by the Gear Stabilization System (GSS), ensuring perfect alignment and optimal smoothness even under heavy pressure. The innovative Flite Drive™ technology guarantees a zero-inertia start and a surprisingly light and effortless handle turn.

Braking power is managed by the high-output Carbonite Dual Force Drag (DFD) System, utilizing Cal's Drag Grease, which offers exceptional stability and a smooth, progressive drag output. An oversized custom titanium spool shaft reduces flex and weight. Long-term durability is maximized by 12+1 HPB (High Performance Bearings) that are corrosion-resistant (10 times more resilient than standard stainless steel) and the CRC (Corrosion Resistant Coating) process. Premium details like the DLC-coated EFR II roller and the machined aluminum screw-in handle design with a carbon fiber knob solidify the Tesoro as a reel of the highest caliber.

Key Features:

High-performance saltwater spinning reel.
Alumilite body, side plate, and rotor with Cyclonic Flow Rotor technology.
IPX-7 waterproof rating (submersion up to 1 meter).
29.9 kg (66 lbs) max drag power with the Carbonite Dual Force Drag (DFD) System.
Oversized C6191 brass gear and Gear Stabilization System (GSS).
Flite Drive™ technology for zero-inertia start.
12HPB + 1RB corrosion-resistant bearings and CRC.
Oversized titanium spool shaft and DLC roller.
Dual anti-reverse and manual/automatic bail trip (depending on size).

Recommended for:

Anglers practicing popping, extreme jigging, or tuna fishing and other large pelagics.
Those who demand the most in drag power (29.9 kg) and water protection (IPX-7).
Those seeking an extremely rigid, light, and smooth reel for prolonged fights at sea.

Okuma Tesoro LDJ jigging reel, a recipient of the prestigious iF Design Award 2024, is a masterpiece of engineering, specifically crafted for saltwater jigging. Every detail of this reel is designed for strength, drag precision, and functionality to handle large predators like tuna, amberjack, and grouper.

Its frame is made from a single block of cold-forged 6061-T6 aluminum, a process that creates an incredibly rigid and durable structure capable of withstanding more pressure and torque than any other reel in its class. This rigidity ensures that the stainless steel gears maintain perfect alignment even during the most grueling fights.

Flite Drive™ Technology is a game-changing innovation: it reduces rotation resistance by over 50% compared to previous models, significantly easing the load during heavy retrieves. The Carbonite Dual Force drag system provides exceptional stopping power and a smooth, progressive feel, with a lever that allows for three precise drag settings. The full-range linear drag curve design is specifically tailored for jigging, allowing the angler to make sensitive and accurate drag adjustments.

The Tesoro LDJ was built with the angler's comfort in mind: the ergonomic power handle and a design optimized for the index finger and thumb reduce hand fatigue, while the out-cut bar design increases the space between the spool and the frame, preventing line contact. A spool lock system adds a crucial feature for anglers working near the bottom.

Key Features:

Jigging reel honored with the iF Design Award 2024.
Rigid cold-forged 6061-T6 aluminum frame for maximum strength.
Flite Drive™ Technology for lighter rotation under heavy load.
Carbonite Dual Force drag with a three-setting lever.
Stainless steel gears and a triple anti-reverse system.
Ergonomic design for optimal comfort.
Spool lock system.

Recommended for:

Jigging and vertical jigging anglers seeking top-tier performance.
Those who target large predators like tuna, amberjack, and grouper.
Those looking for a reel that is robust and reliable yet offers extremely smooth and light rotation.
