Just got it. Looks great, super slow oscillation (just like my aero technium) Very excited to add to my surf fishing collection. Now I need the damned beach to open up
Pros
Super slow oscillation,strong piece of machinery, fast retrieve.
ConsSome may not like the weight, but it's a good counter balance to a long surf rod. Plus it's gray, and all my reels are gray ,so give me blue orange red I don't care!

Used it other day fo Strippers in upper Hudson River, Took a several schoolies, but did hook into a Large Pike, in the 25 pound class.
The drag stopped her dead, and this thing cast a mile!
Now where can you buy a reel for a C note, that has the power like this!

Impressed with Okuma Surf 8K & Tackle Direct
September 11, 2019
Did a lot of research shopping for a new surf reel. Tackle Direct's site gives you all the specs at your fingertips for comparison purposes. I watched a lot of YouTube videos, including John Bretza's from Okuma. I also contacted Okuma with questions and received quick & informative responses from Regional Sales Manager Mark Rogers. Reel is solid, great design, slow oscillation, sturdy bail wire and spool. For $99, I don't know how you beat it. Also bought an Okuma Cedros CSX Surf Rod. Ordered on Labor Day (Monday), reel was delivered on Friday. Very pleased.

I purchased the Okuma 8K Wow mated it to a 12ft Okuma Rockaway , launches 3 oz lures as well as my Old go to 11 ft Ron Ara the keel is smooth casting, lays the line on the spool as well as reels costing 3 times as much.
ProsOrdered the reel and rod from another online fishing company. Received the rod, But told the reel would be shipped from the company? After waiting a week. Still No reel ? I called to check shipping info and then was told it was out of stock. I quickly canceled the order. Within minutes my new reel was enroute from TackleDirect

I have a Okuma Cedros reel that is really nice but to retrieve with your right hand, you must wind the handle on counter clockwise, so when you have to reel hard, the handle comes loose.
Is this the same case with this and other Okuma reels? If so, I will never buy another one. Thanks.
1 Answer
If you reel counter clockwise you're automatically loosening the handle you always have to reel towards the rod tip for the reel to function correctly.Â
