Okuma Bay Area Custom Rods

At Okuma Fishing Tackle, every rod begins with a purpose—and the Bay Area Custom Rod Series is no exception. Built with the specific needs of Northern California’s saltwater anglers in mind, these rods deliver the strength, sensitivity, and control demanded by fisheries from San Francisco Bay to the rocky Pacific coast. Whether you're drifting for halibut, trolling for salmon, or working deep channels for striped bass and sturgeon, the Bay Area Customs are trusted tools for serious local anglers.

Each rod in the series is constructed with a durable blend of 24-ton carbon and E-glass, reinforced with Okuma’s proprietary multi-directional fiber layup for enhanced lifting power and responsiveness. The tip section is fortified with UFR technology, providing the ideal combination of backbone and finesse to detect subtle bites and handle hard-fighting fish. With balanced tapers designed for region-specific techniques, these rods offer a truly refined feel on the water.

From top to bottom, the Bay Area Custom series reflects the insight of experienced West Coast anglers. High-performance guide frames and inserts ensure smooth line management with both braid and mono, while rugged reel seats and shrink tube grips keep everything locked in and under control, even in rough seas. Backed by Okuma’s commitment to quality, these rods are built to perform season after season, wherever the tide takes you.
