Okuma Rockaway Light Weight Carbon Saltwater Surf Rods

Love, love, love these rods! I’ve got the 10M and 10MH. They are lightweight and strong! I paired one with a Penn Slammer and the other with a Penn Clash. They are very sensitive allowing me to feel the lightest of bites and yet strong enough for any of the Colorado River stripers I fish for. I will be adding the 12MH to my collection because of the way my 10’s have performed. I know logically it’s dumb to have a “favorite rod” but the Rockaways are always the first poles I grab when heading to the river! Additional info: Added the 12MH for some extra distance in trying to reach previously unfishable parts of the Colorado River. I prefer the 10 foot rods but will use the 12 footer on special trips to different parts of the river. It’s a little more difficult to manage than the shorter rods.

exactly what my husband wanted so far works great- came in a box.

Recently been doing some replacing of surf fishing gear, and rods were high on the list. I hadn’t really looked in to surf rods for a good 20yrs and these had awesome reviews. For a good all around, started with the 10ft Medium and can’t wait to get it in the water. Paired with a Shimano Ultegra CI4+ it feels great, something I can cast with all day and also will work well for soaking baits. Appears to be well made, only time will tell but, from what I can see I think I’ll get many years out of it. The price for what you get if tough to beat.

Love this rod. Bought it to surf fish as a light weight replacement for a much heavier setup and it worked out great. Put a higher end Shimano reel on it and they work great together. Great value for the money. Casting distance is excellent. Very sensitive. Definitely recommend this rod.

Incredible value, shipped horribly in just a simple plastic bag. Charge more and add the cardboard tube other brands ship in. The packaging is what moved this rating from 5 stars to 3. MH rating is good for casting lures up to 42g. Good sensitivity.

Snapped after a few casts :/

Without question, best surf rod hands down. Bought 10ft and wouldn't go longer. Used 1 oz egg sinker in Carolina rig and killed surfperch. Paired with Penn reel but may go lighter even though casting was amazing

Use this for throwing hardware at salmon and steelhead and it is excellent. Casts far, sensitive tip, light in the hand. Balance with a 4000 or smaller reel.
