Quick take
An 11 ft surf rod with 30-ton carbon fiber construction, designed to handle braided line and deliver distance on the beach.
This 11-foot Okuma Cedros CSX is a spinning surf rod with a 30-ton carbon blank and a medium-heavy power. Its stainless guide frames carry small zirconium inserts suited to braided line, and the handle uses a non-slip shrink-tube grip with a tapered rear end. It suits anglers casting from the beach who want reach and a moderate/fast taper that loads into the blank.
