Starting as so many companies do as a spin off, in 1987 Okuma had humble beginnings. The founders came with decades of fishing tackle manufacturing experience, and although small, Okuma has always been a different kind of company.

With today's natural resources becoming more and more precious, so does our time outdoors. Regardless of location or target species, our time on the water is at a premium. Okuma's goal is to enhance that time and experience by providing dynamic tackle that will become a seamless part of the overall angling experience. "Design driven by technique" is the key in developing rods and reels that push the angling experience.
