Okuma 8K Baitrunners & Carp Reels 743g 18kg 108cm 4.7:1

Okuma 8K Carp — Built for Big-Fish Battles

The Okuma 8K Carp reel combines robust construction with precision engineering to handle hard-fighting carp and specimen fish with confidence.

Heavy-Duty Drag and Line Capacity

With 18 kg of maximum drag power and a generous line capacity of up to 620 m of 0.33 mm line, the 8K Carp gives you the muscle and reserve you need for long-distance casting and powerful runs. The fast drag system with carbon washers delivers smooth, consistent pressure, while the Hydro Block watertight drag seal protects internal components from the elements.

Precision Features for Serious Carping

The slow oscillation system ensures even line lay for trouble-free casting, and the precision worm shaft transmission keeps everything running smoothly. Dual stainless steel line clippers let you mark your distances reliably, while the quick-set anti-reverse roller bearing and rotor brake system give you instant control when a fish takes. The 5+1 bearing system (5 ball bearings + 1 roller bearing) guarantees fluid operation under load.
