The Okuma Makaira will be the indispensable partner for trolling sessions at sea
Designed around a 6061-T6 machined aluminum frame and forged side plates, this reel focuses on strength and structural integrity at the core of performance. The 17-4 stainless gears and helical gears result in superior torque, smooth recovery and an immediate meshing fluidity when the line is under tension. The dual speed adjustment present on all models allows for gear ratio adjustment according to drift and boat tactics.
For corrosion resistance and longevity, the cold forged, machined aluminum spool, protected by Type-II anodization and "Corrosion Resistant Coating (CRC)", guarantees equipment suitable for marine environments. The patented spool pin system accommodates both braid and monofilament, simplifying assembly and reducing slippage risks.
In the field, the Dual Force Carbonite Drag combined with Cal’s Universal Drag Grease and a custom stopper bearing provides drag fluidity and optimized management of high stress, essential when fighting big fish like the (the machined logo underlines this focus). The ABEC-5 Sapporo stainless bearings (4 on most models, 6 on the MK-80WII) and the patented, silent anti-reverse ratchet system ensure smoothness and reliability.
The design is thought for the sea: patented T-Bar handle with Easy Roll graphite insert, ratchet drag lever and preset knob for fine adjustments, machined thumb rest on rear bar and water drain holes. The 16II, 20II and 50II models feature an open frame with "Lug and Plug" to facilitate positioning and maintenance.
