Okuma Introduces Rockaway Si Spinning Reel

ONTARIO, CALIF. – Okuma Fishing, known for building rugged and dependable saltwater tackle, introduces the new Rockaway Si Spinning Reel, a purpose-built reel engineered for the demands of surf and inshore fishing. Designed under the popular Rockaway rod series umbrella, the Rockaway SI combines clean aesthetics with saltwater-tough features—delivering the strength, power, and performance anglers need.

Built for battle, the Rockaway Si is crafted with Okuma’s advanced C-40X carbon body and side plate, making it both lightweight and incredibly durable. At its core, the reel houses oversized High-Density Gearing + (HDG+), Flite Drive, and a Gear Stabilizing System (GSS) to ensure smooth operation and rock-solid cranking power—especially when fighting big fish in heavy water.

Engineered to stand up to harsh saltwater environments, the Rockaway Si features 5HPB + 1RB stainless steel bearings, multi-disc carbonite drag washers for heat-resistant drag pressure, and Okuma’s Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR) for improved airflow and faster drying after each use. A sealed Hydro Block body and the elimination of an on/off anti-reverse switch, further protects internal components from water intrusion, making this one of the most durable spinning reels in Okuma’s saltwater lineup.

Casting performance is front and center with the Rockaway SI. It boasts precision machine-cut brass pinion gear for refined smoothness and a machined, two-tone anodized aluminum spool paired with high-speed gear ratios for rapid line retrieval—ideal for covering distance and reacting quickly during long casts.

“The Rockaway Si was made for anglers who face ruthless salt and pounding surf,” said John Bretza, Product Development Manager at Okuma. “We combined carbon construction with strategic sealing and precision gearing to give coastal anglers the strength, speed, and reliability they need when fishing in challenging environments.”

Available in sizes ranging from 2500 to 5000 to suit a variety of fishing techniques, the Rockaway SI is backed by a 1-year limited warranty. For more information on the Rockaway SI Spinning Reels and Okuma products, visit www.okumafishingusa.com.
