The Okuma Cedros A Jigging is a heavy-duty speed jigging and bottom jigging series built for offshore anglers made for large pelagics and deep-water bottom species, tuna, amberjack, yellowtail, grouper, and similar serves where jig weights exceed 80g and line classes run 30–200 lb. The series spans a demanding power range, from M models handling moderate jig weights through XXH models rated for jigs approaching 25 oz, making it one of the more comprehensive heavy jigging lineups at its price tier. Blanks are E-glass construction, a deliberate choice to absorb the shock from low-stretch braided lines under strike, while maintaining the lifting power needed for deep-water fish.

ALPS high-rise 316 stainless steel guide frames with Zirconium inserts handle braid friction at high line loads. Spiral-shaped EVA foregrips and a machined aluminum reel seat (ALPS pyramid design) distinguish the component specification from budget offshore alternatives. The series carries a lifetime warranty and is frequently cited as competitive with rods at higher price points. Fourteen models divide into conventional (casting) and spinning formats across three lengths: 5'6", 6', and 6'6" for casting; 6' and 7' for spinning.

Power ratings climb from M through XXH. The 5'6" XH and XXH casting models handle the heaviest jigs for targeted deep-water amberjack or giant trevally scenarios. The M and MH models at 6' and 6'6" address lighter-duty speed jigging. Spinning models top out at H power, suited for situations where spinning gear is preferred for jig presentation.

A closer look at notable models.

CJ-C-561XXHa Casting · 5' 6" · XXH · MF action

The most powerful model in the lineup at 5'6" XXH. Rated to 700g jig weight, this is specialized for deepest-water applications made for large amberjack, grouper, or giant trevally requiring extreme lifting power.

CJ-C-561XHa Casting · 5' 6" · XH · XF action

XH power at 5'6" with an XF action, compact and powerful for boat-side deep drops where rod length is a constraint and heavy jigs need to be worked with short, aggressive strokes.

CJ-C-661Ma Casting · 6' 6" · M · M action

Lightest casting model, M power at 6'6" with moderate action. Most accessible entry for general speed jigging on lighter jigs where the heavier models would over-power the presentation.

CJ-S-701Ha Spinning · 7' 0" · H · MF action

Heavy-power spinning at 7' for anglers who prefer spinning gear on large pelagics. Handles significant jig weights on heavy braid while providing reach for casting presentations.

CJ-S-701Ma Spinning · 7' 0" · M · M action

Longest model in the lineup at 7'. M power spinning for lighter jig speeds and situations where spinning tackle aids presentation, casting jigs to breaking fish or working medium-depth water.
