Okuma Flite Surf Reel (FLS35-1500AY)
The Okuma Flite Surf Reel is built for anglers who demand extreme casting performance without sacrificing power. In the Flite Surf, lightweight construction meets serious fish-stopping strength — delivering long-distance capability with an impressive 18kg drag system.
Designed specifically for surf casting, this reel combines advanced materials with precision engineering to maximise casting distance, line management and durability in harsh saltwater environments.
Lightweight construction. Serious power.
At the core of the Flite Surf is a lightweight C-40X carbon frame and side plates, reducing overall weight while maintaining rigidity and corrosion resistance. Inside, an 18kg carbon fibre drag system provides the stopping power needed for powerful surf species.
The C-40X Cyclonic Flow Rotor enhances airflow around the rotor for improved corrosion resistance, while the HPB (High Performance Bearing) system ensures smooth operation even in saltwater conditions.

Even Flow Roller System with DLC coating
Frictionless main shaft design
Built for long-distance surf casting
The long-stroke spool design allows line to peel off effortlessly during the cast, maximising distance. Combined with super-slow oscillation and worm shaft transmission, the reel ensures exceptional line lay and reduced friction.
The one-piece bail and Even Flow line roller with DLC coating improve line control and durability, while the rotor brake system keeps the rotor stable during casting.
Precision balance and control
An ultralight screw-in handle offers direct contact with the gearing system for efficient power transfer, while the lightweight shaft and spool reduce fatigue during extended casting sessions.
