The Surf-8K was built to be the top caster in its category. The Surf-8K long casting spinning reel brings its technology to one key size, the 8K. The Surf-8K contains 6 total stainless steel ball bearings and features a fish stopping 40lbs of drag pressure with its carbonite drag washers.
Bought it to replace the 2 Coronados that I have been using it for surf fishing for the past 15 years. Received the package from United Outdoors & the items are in perfect conditions. The reel is quite light for its size & cranks pretty quiet & smooth. Would have gave it a 5 stars if they didn’t use plastic part as part of the reversible crank handle. Overall I think it’s a good value & will try it out in September when bull reds are running along the gulf coast. Highly recommend to buy from United Outdoirs. 👍
I use Okuma reels exclusively because I've had great luck with them. This is one big reel and casts my pyramid sinker and rig way out there. Not bad for a 70 year old snowbird!
