I am looking to find an assortment of these retainers but I dont know the name of them. Its the small wire octagon shaped bearing retainers found on all baitcasting reels.

Does anyone know the correct name for them?

Wouldn't it be a pentagon snap ring? If you ordered octagon it might not work

Yep it's a hexagon (6 sides) spring washer - with one side removed. Most just call it a spring washer :-\
