OKUMA MAKAIRA
OKUMA Makaira represents the absolute pinnacle of lever drag reels for big game fishing, embodying uncompromising excellence in engineering applied to large pelagic fishing like marlin, giant tuna, swordfish, and sharks. This professional trolling reel integrates advanced patents and exclusive technologies that redefine standards of power, durability, and precision in extreme trolling.
The structural heart of the Makaira lies in the machined rigid frame in 6061-T6 aluminum completely machined from a single bar, with forged side plates that guarantee absolute precision tolerances and resistance to extreme pressures and torques. The Type II gold anodization on frame, spool, and main components ensures superior protection and professional aesthetics.
The revolutionary 2-speed gear system incorporates two sets of gears in 17-4 stainless steel helical cut, allowing instant selection of high-speed ratio for rapid retrieve or low-speed ratio for maximum power and torque. The helical cut gears guarantee gradual meshing, superior smoothness, and silent operation compared to traditional straight-cut gears.
The patented Dual Force Drag system in Carbonite with Cal universal grease is mounted on the right side of the spool around a Pull Bar system that keeps all mechanisms in perfect alignment without exerting pressure on the frame. The custom-designed thrust bearing relieves lateral load during heavy drag settings, ensuring ultra-smooth modulation even with extreme loads.
The proprietary silent anti-reverse system with 12-point double dog completely eliminates noise and vibrations, offering unparalleled smoothness sensation. Anti-reverse hooks open during retrieve allowing frictionless rotation, and lock instantly via crankshaft-activated sliding system when the handle is stopped.
The patented T-Bar handle exploits natural dynamics of hand, wrist, and forearm, ensuring maximum power with minimum fatigue during prolonged fights. The Easy Roll graphite insert completes the superior ergonomics.
4-6 Sapporo ABEC-5 precision ball bearings in stainless steel ensure extreme smoothness, while the CRC process (Corrosion Resistant Coating) combines HDG-II gears with Corrosion X HD coating on all parts, penetrating and bonding to metal for long-term protection.
The patented spool pin system works perfectly with braided or monofilament lines, while the open frame design (selected models) with harness and rod clamp system facilitates maintenance and inspection. Perfect for offshore trolling, IGFA tournaments, and stand-up fishing for world-record billfish.
