Posted on Aug 21, 2025
By Okuma® Staff

At Okuma, we’re always working to build rods and reels that not only meet the demands of serious saltwater anglers but elevate their time on the water. For the 2025/2026 season, we’re proud to introduce an impressive new lineup of gear across both inshore and offshore categories, built with precision, purpose, and performance in mind. Whether you’re casting from the beach, jigging deep structure, or locked in battle with big-game predators, Okuma has you covered.
Makaira LBS 80 Wide: Built for Land-Based Shark Hunters
The newest beast in the Makaira lineup, the Makaira LBS 80 Wide, is purpose-built for land-based shark fishing. With an extra-wide spool, massive drag capacity, and bulletproof Makaira construction, this reel is engineered to take on monster sharks from the beach. When you're targeting bull sharks, hammerheads, or sandbar sharks from the sand, you need gear that can go the distance, literally. The 80 Wide does exactly that.

Tesoro Lever Drag Jigging Reels: Power for the Depths
New for 2025, the Tesoro Lever Drag Jigging Reels bring refined strength and smooth performance to jigging enthusiasts. Available in sizes for both slow pitch jigging and traditional vertical jigging, these reels are built to handle everything from deep water snapper and grouper to yellowtail and schoolie tuna. Designed with compact, corrosion-resistant frames and high-output drag systems, they’re your new go-to for technical bottom fishing.

Safyre Spinning Reels: Inshore Style Meets Performance
Perfect for the flats, bays, and mangrove shorelines, the all-new Okuma Safyre Spinning Reels are tailor-made for light inshore work. With sizes ideal for redfish, snook, speckled trout, and more, the Safyre combines eye-catching style with silky-smooth performance and corrosion resistance. Whether you're tossing top water at sunrise or skipping soft plastics under docks, the Safyre has the speed and control to get the job done — all while looking good doing it.

Rockaway SI Spinning Reels: Surf-Ready Versatility
From California to the Carolinas, the Rockaway SI (Surf/Inshore) Spinning Reels are built to excel in the surf zone. Lightweight yet rugged, they are ideal for casting halibut and surf perch on the West Coast or targeting jacks, pompano, and whiting on the East Coast. With its powerful drag system and salt-ready design, the Rockaway SI gives surf anglers the confidence to cast farther and fight harder.

PCH Custom 7'9" XXXH Rail Rod: Built for the Big Boys
Back offshore, the new PCH Custom 7'9" XXXH Rail Rod is a game-changer for anglers chasing big bluefin and yellowfin tuna. That extra length makes it easier to manage the rod on the rail during long battles, giving you improved leverage and keeping your line away from the hull. It’s a serious tool for serious fish, designed to hold up to high drag pressures and the brutal punishment these fish can deliver.

Catalina Boat Rods: Offshore Workhorses
The newly launched Catalina series of offshore boat rods delivers versatility and reliability at a great value. These rods are ideal for live baiting, chunking, trolling, or jigging for yellowtail, dorado, tuna, and more. With a broad selection of models and actions, the Catalina lineup gives offshore anglers a durable and dependable option for every trip.

Pulse Wave Inshore Rods: Add Style to Your Setup
Last but not least, the Pulse Wave Inshore Rods bring performance and personality to the inshore category. With sleek pink or seafoam green blanks, these rods aren’t just pretty, they’re purpose-built for snook, reds, specks, stripers, and more. Lightweight, sensitive, and surprisingly powerful, they make an excellent addition to any inshore arsenal while turning heads at the dock or on the flats.
