For a superior saltwater rod, The Okuma rockaway Surf spinning rod utilizes the latest technology to provide you with power and durability. This spinning rod is constructed of a 24-ton and moderate-tapered carbon blank that is extremely lightweight and responsive. For improved balance, It utilizes tip-over-butt ferrule connection. Its Sea guide stainless steel guides with Zirconium inserts stand up to all challenges and minimizes line abrasions. Outfitted with a tapered shrink tube grip, you can expect a non-slip surface on wet days. The rockaway Surf spinning rod is light enough for Surf anglers to cast all day.

Review: Needed a surf rod, bigger & better than what I had - 9/7/22 - This baby was 12' long, very small in diameter & very light. I wondered if it would chuck a 3oz weight it was rated for without breaking? It did & without breaking. It sailed the bait & 3oz farther than ever before. Tip was sensitive enough to see tiny 3"-4" fish nibbling on the bait. (I know cause I caught one, along with a sea anemone & starfish) It did well bringing other 2-3 lb fish up the 30' cliff we were fishing from. Pretty impressive & happy with it. Good addition to the collection. However, next time I looked at it 2 months later (Nov), the tip & 3.5" of rod was broken off. It was stored like any others, separated in 1/2 with line still attached standing up with tip down next to handle. Mending failed cause I.D. was to small to insert anything strong enough & wasn't please about being 3.5" shorter if I put a new tip on it....being as it's brand new & only used once. I felt like I got cheated. Came across a fishing forum where a guy had same problem on same rod. He contacted the factory & got a new outer 1/2 of the rod for free. Well I'm screwed as it is so gave it a shot. Sure enough, the factory is sending me one too...for free. Might have to pay for shipping but that's better than the options I had. Bottom line, good pole & customer support but tip needs special care to prevent breaking. It appears to be a weak link. I will now store it standing up with the butt of both sections on the ground & twist tied together. Once again, beware, the tip will not take the abuse other rods will. 12/1/22 update, Received outer 1/2 of pole from Okuma today. The thick cardboard 3" x 6' tube was bent 1' from one end. The tip end as it turns out. Luckily the pole was not damaged. Okuma didn't charge me anything, not even shipping. Now that's the way to treat customers! Kudo's to Okuma! I'll look you up 1st for my next pole. 👍
Review: Great purchase - Great bang for the buck. Just bought a PENN rod that is almost the equivalent. The Penn is heavier by about 4 oz and cost 2x as much 3x as much if you get it on sale like I just did. Both are great rods, they cast well but he Rockaway has less wind resistance so with the lighter wt. casting all day is an easier thing to do. It may be just me but the Penn needs a heavier reel to feel better balanced for me. Lighter rod, lighter reel, less wind resistance and lower price. HOW COULD YOU GO WRONG! The bad part was packaging. desertcart just doesn’t get it. I’ve been luck with my rod purchases but this time was pure luck

## Questions & Answers

**Q: 1202 mh is medium/heavy action?**
A: Yes, MH stands for medium heavy. It rates the power of the rod. It's probably a FAST "Action". Meaning ...just the upper third of the rod will bend. Not the Action if your casting all day. more of a live bait rod. Casting lures all day, you must go MODERATE......MODERATE/FAST Action. Hope this helps you make the right selection tailored to you.

**Q: Can i put a bait casting reel on this rod?**
A: Guys in Hawaii dunk with this rod all the time.

**Q: Is there a warranty on this rod?**
A: Yes there is a 1 year warranty. I broke the rod tip then contacted Okuma and they sent me a brand new top half of the rod with no charge.

**Q: Is this rod best suited for 1oz, 1.5oz, or 2oz+ weighted lures?**
A: 1 to 1.5 works best for me

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pole is great get 5 stars, but the shipping was a joke
*by J***R on August 24, 2020*

My pole arrived unpacked. It had a thin plastic wrapping.. the eyes had poked through the plastic in few spots... Remarkably, none of the eyes were broken or bent and the pole only had a few scuffs from the journey...
