The NEW Okuma SURF-8K spinning reel utilizes the latest in technology to create a long-distance surfcasting reel for the masses.
The Okuma Surf-8K long casting surf spinning reel features the latest technology to give the angler the ultimate distance on every cast. Today’s anglers want lightweight reels that they can cast all day with extreme spool capacity for the ultimate in distance. The Surf-8K was built to be the top caster in its category. Designed with the leading surf fishermen around the country, the Surf-8K features graphite rotor, side plates and frame for lightweight feel and durability. The aluminum tapered spool gives minimal resistance for free line release creating extreme distance. Another key technology in the Surf-8K reel is the slow oscillation system. This slower oscillation system gives an exceptional line lay upon retrieve and is optimized for use with braided line.
“As fuel prices continue to increase, we see an increase in participation of shore fisherman,” states John Bretza, Product Development Manager. “The new Surf-8K gives the angler the option to cruise the beach and make extremely long casts out to where the game fish are roaming.”
The Surf-8K long casting spinning reel brings its technology to one key size, the 8K. The Surf-8K contains 6 total stainless steel ball bearings and features a fish stopping 40lbs of drag pressure with its carbonite drag washers.

The key features on the Surf-8K spinning reels include the tapered spool system for reduced resistance and extreme casting distance. The slow oscillation system and cyclonic flow rotor keep your line lay even and dry. The Surf-8K also has a machined aluminum screw handle design as well as a machined aluminum anodized spool with LCS lip to reduce wind knots.
The Okuma Surf-8K spinning reels have a retail price of $99.99 and are backed by a 1-year warranty.
The New Okuma Rockaway Surf rods feature extremely lightweight and responsive 24-ton carbon rod blanks, Okuma UFR tip technology, the tip over butt ferrule connection for improved balance.
- Extremely lightweight and responsive 24-ton carbon rod blanks

I have used other Okuma reels for striper. They have held up well. Can’t wait to try this one!
I own three Okuma reels, but not one spinning reel. Until Okuma came along, I was a Penn only man. Got my first one as a gift from my son. Kinda locked in to your product now. I had to sell my boat, and now I need a surf rod. How opportune. I’ve never won a thing in my life; this would be a great time to start.
My husband got me hooked literally I love fishing I would love to have the capability to cast far I try lol I never thought it may be the reel I have
My sons birthday is coming up and would love to give him a new rod for his birthday
I live about 400 miles from the ocean but I make to NJ several times a year to hit the surf and visit our son in Cherry Hill. Happy Hookin’ everyone.
Okuma reels are awesome. I fish with my ABF 40 every weekend. Nothing like it. The auto bait feed let’s the fish take the bait and run without knowing they are even hooked. Keep up the great work!

Used Okuma products in the past great affordable downrigger and spinning reels. Would love to try their surf product.
Great Reels and Rod find they stand up to abuse but still have great feel

Go good with my okuma trout rods
I have the Azores Z-65s. It is a solid smooth reel. I have had “zero issues with its function. I have used it to fish the cape cod canal. It has never failed me. I have had okuma surf rods in the past as well. They are fairly priced for the novice surf caster. It will last them a long time
Looking forward to winning this reel. I’m a big saltwater guy and never use a okuma reel before.
Would love nothing more than to send the rod and reel company pictures of me holding a big striper with there awesome gear
Good looking rod and reel combo.
Nice reel
Nice
