The Okuma CJ-8000 Cedros Spinning Reel is expertly designed to meet the challenging demands of saltwater fishing. Specifically built for saltwater use, this reel features a rigid aluminum body and rotor that ensure durability and resilience against the harsh marine environment. The Cedros CJ-8000 is equipped with Okuma’s “Dual Force Drag” system, providing extreme stopping power that is essential for battling powerful saltwater species. Whether you’re targeting large pelagic fish or bottom dwellers, this reel is designed to handle heavy-duty fishing tasks with ease.

In addition to its robust construction, the CJ-8000 boasts Okuma’s proprietary “High Density Gearing” with a special corrosion-resistant coating, which prolongs the reels lifespan and provides reliable performance trip after trip. The high-speed gear ratio of 5.4:1 enables quick line retrieval, perfect for when a fast response is needed in jigging situations. The Cedros also features a customized jigging handle that gives anglers enhanced comfort and leverage during long fishing sessions, making it one of the top reels for saltwater jig fishing.

Okuma has incorporated advanced features such as the Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR), which improves airflow around the rotor, thereby minimizing water intrusion and reducing corrosion. This technology is complemented by a dual anti-reverse system, ensuring solid hook sets and reducing handle back-play. The manual bail trip system further contributes to the reel’s longevity by reducing wear and tear on essential components, particularly useful in the demanding saltwater environment where reliability is key.

With 6 ball bearings and an additional roller bearing (6BB + 1RB), the CJ-8000 delivers a smooth and responsive performance during retrieves. Combined with a substantial maximum drag of 44 lbs through the Carbonite Dual Force Drag system, this reel has the power to battle trophy-sized fish. Its light weight of 21.5 oz makes it highly versatile, allowing anglers to use it for both inshore and offshore fishing without feeling fatigued. The Okuma CJ-8000 Cedros Spinning Reel is a superior choice for anglers seeking reliability, power, and high performance in saltwater fishing.
