Okuma Cedros CSX Surf CSX-S-1002M Saltwater Spinning Rod | 30-Ton Carbon Blank

Overview

Meet the Okuma Cedros CSX Surf CSX-S-1002M, a versatile saltwater spinning rod designed for beach, pier, and shore-line anglers. Built to balance sensitivity with durability, this rod invites confident casting and steady control in varying surf conditions.

Engineered for performance

At the core is a 30-Ton carbon fiber blank that rewards quick responses and robust power without excessive weight. The moderate-fast taper loads early and continues to load through the blank, helping you achieve impressive distance with a smooth, controlled cast.

The guide system is braid-friendly from reel to water. ALPS 316-grade stainless steel double-footed frames, paired with Zirconium inserts, minimize friction and help your braided line run cleanly, reducing memory and tangles on the retrieve.

Durability meets reliability with corrosion resistance in mind. SS316 stainless hardware stands up to salt spray, and the refined handle uses non-slip shrink tube grip that tapers to a comfortable rear section, ensuring day-long comfort and unobstructed handling when rigging or reeling.
