Reviewing The O R I G I N A L Rockaway Surf Rod By Okuma!
by Scuba Chris » Today, 05:49
Little Did Okuma Know They Gave Birth to a Legend of Surf Rods!
John Bretza the Director of Product Development for Okuma gave birth to the original Rockaway line of Surf Rods that helped Okuma to be recognized as a top producer of fishing rods. Though classified as a surf rod the versatility of these rods also enabled shoreline anglers to spin cast from shore for fresh to saltwater anglers!
Years ago John sent me 4 Rockaways for myself & company reps to be used after a local product show in Hawaii. We had a great 2-day show & i took everyone spin-casting which in Hawaii is termed Whipping. The waves were up that winter day to 22ft up North so we headed town side. At least i was able to get a Jack to strike which John video'd for his research team.
So this is a video introduction of the original Rockaway that started a family of Rockaway's from Okuma.
