Okuma Cedros CJ Sea Fishing Reel 8000 5.4:1 624g 20kg 104cm

Okuma Cedros CJ 8000 — Built for Extreme Saltwater Jigging

The Cedros CJ 8000 combines high stopping power with durable saltwater-resistant construction, making it a reliable choice for vertical jigging and heavy-duty offshore fishing.

Dual Force Drag for Maximum Control

The Precision Dual Force Drag (DFD) system delivers 20 kg of stopping power through a multi-disc configuration, giving you precise adjustment and consistent pressure when fighting powerful pelagic species. The machined aluminum spool and robust gearing ensure smooth performance under heavy loads.

Corrosion-Resistant Engineering

Every component is built to withstand saltwater conditions. The Litecast body design reduces weight by 15% without sacrificing strength, while the Corrosion Resistant Coating (CRC) and High Density Gearing II (HDGII) protect internal components. Seven corrosion-resistant stainless steel bearings (6HPB + 1RB) and a precision-cut brass pinion gear guarantee long-term reliability. The dual anti-reverse system and manual bail trip function provide added security during vertical jigging.
