Okuma Solaris Surf SSX-S-1102MH: UFR Tip Light Graphite Rod for Surf Casting

Premium surf casting performance

The Okuma Solaris Surf SSX UFR Tip Light graphite rod blends light handling with rugged reliability. Crafted from a 24-ton low resin carbon blank, this rod delivers a responsive feel that helps you load into each cast while maintaining sensitivity to subtle bites.

A tip over butt ferrule connection adds stability where you need it most, helping you stay balanced as you work the beach or jetty.
