The Reel

Specifically designed for saltwater use, the Okuma Cedros CJ-8000 Saltwater Spinning Reel features Okuma’s Litecast construction design, Dual Force Drag System for extreme stopping power and our proprietary High Density Gearing with a special corrosion resistant coating. Combine this with a high-speed gear ratio and a customised aluminium handle and you have one of the best saltwater jig fishing reels on the market.

Litecast Construction Design
Okuma’s Litecast construction design is 15% lighter than former Azores reels while maintaining maximum strength and durability.

Dual Force Drag System
DFD incorporates both surfaces of the spool to maximise high-end drag pressure, efficiency and overall smoothness. Mounted in the top of the spool and protected by the Hydro Block system is a multi-disc felt drag system that works in conjunction with a secondary drag system that is mounted under the spool. Even pressure is applied to both surfaces of the spool for maximum stability and significantly increased drag output compared to traditional single drag systems.

Manual Bail Trip
Manual bail trip function for both reliability as well as reduces line twists.

Gearing Stabilisation Design
Ultimate pinion stability for prefect main gear adjustment : super smooth gearing feeling and high durability.

High Performance Bearing (HPB)
6 high performance ball bearings provide Cedros with outstanding smoothness and reliability in saltwater fishing environments. The balls used on the HPB’s are constructed from the same high-grade stainless steel material as the bearing housing.

The Rod

The Okuma Kotare Spinning Stickbait Rod has been developed to provide the highest level of performance in the Okuma range. It’s made from the highest modulus carbon coupled with the best components for a lighter, stronger and more responsive rod designed for Kiwi’s by Kiwi’s. Designed specifically for throwing stickbaits for NZ kingfish, the Okuma Kotare Spinning Stickbait Rod is exceptionally lightweight yet incredibly powerful. Featuring Winn Grips, 46T graphite blanks and top of the line ALPS and Fuji componentry this rod is super responsive and casts like a cannon, while the tip sections fold away to allow the angler to work any lure with ease. The UMR technology means you don’t sacrifice anything in terms of durability and the parabolic action means you can exert huge amounts of pressure on the fish while making it easier on the angler.

The Okuma Kotare Spinning Stickbait Rod is a truly outstanding topwater rod for chasing kingfish around New Zealand’s coastline. The lightweight 46T carbon blank and ultra-comfortable Winn Grip foregrip makes casting and working small to medium sized stickbaits all day a breeze. At 8ft in length it is a great option for both boat and land-based stickbaiting. With its softer tip and powerful mid and butt sections it will swim stickbaits throughout its weight range with ease, and has some serious stopping power when required. Perfectly matched to a reel around the 8000 size range and will tackle most topwater kings around the country.
