When it’s time to chase the silver king, you need a rod built to match its power, speed, and relentless fight. The Okuma Silver Slayer A Series Tarpon Rods have been completely redesigned with improved lengths and actions to give serious tarpon anglers the advantage when it matters most.
The updated lineup now includes four purpose-built models:
Two 7'6" rods
Two 7'11" rods Available in Heavy and X-Heavy powers
Whether you’re making long casts to laid-up fish or applying maximum pressure boat-side, there’s a model dialed in for your style and conditions.
Built for the Battle
At the core of the Silver Slayer A Series is a 24-ton carbon rod blank, delivering the ultimate balance of strength, lifting power, and responsiveness. When a hundred-plus-pound tarpon goes airborne, confidence in your gear is everything.
The rods also feature UFRII (Ultimate Flex Reinforcement) Rod Tip technology, increasing tip durability and impact resistance without sacrificing sensitivity, critical for absorbing violent head shakes and blistering runs.
Premium components round out the build:
SeaGuide double locking Alien reel seat for rock-solid reel security
Fuji K-Concept guides with FazLite inserts for exceptional braid durability and reduced line tangles
Designed to perform flawlessly with today’s high-performance braided lines
Designed for Serious Tarpon Anglers
From long drifts along coastal passes to sight-casting on the flats, the Silver Slayer A Series delivers the backbone, control, and reliability needed to put silver in the boat.
Pack one for your next tarpon adventure, and be ready when the water explodes.
Proposition 65 is a California law that applies to companies selling products in California. Proposition 65 requires warnings if a product contains any listed chemical present above very low levels. Proposition 65’s warning standards are among the most stringent in the world. Proposition 65 is not a product safety law, but rather a "right-to-know" law. Businesses are required to provide warnings to comply with Proposition 65.
There are over 800 chemicals on the Proposition 65 list, which is administered by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency. The list includes naturally occurring and man-made chemicals. Proposition 65 warnings can be seen for a wide variety of everyday consumer products, including electronic equipment, and warnings can be seen posted throughout California in a variety of establishments such as buildings, hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, and stores.
Why do you see the warning on our packaging and website?
The warning is part of our ongoing effort to comply with the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (known as "Proposition 65").
