OKUMA Makaira Spin establishes new absolute parameters in spinning reels for big game, representing the culmination of extreme engineering applied to capturing the most formidable oceanic predators. This offshore fishing reel is built exclusively with military and aerospace-grade materials, specifically designed to dominate Giant Trevally, trophy Yellowtail, Amberjack, giant Bluefin Tuna, Marlin, large Yellowfin Tuna, and sharks.
The technological heart of the Makaira Spin lies in the revolutionary MAXGEAR system powered by grade 17-4 forged stainless steel gears, machine-cut with absolute precision tolerances. This exclusive technology guarantees maximum strength and uncompromising durability in the most extreme saltwater fishing conditions.
The fully forged aluminum body machine-cut, together with the side plate and Cyclonic Flow rotor, totally eliminates die-cast parts, positioning the Makaira Spin in the absolute elite category. The IPX7 waterproof hydro-sealed body protects all internal mechanisms from saltwater and spray penetration, ensuring total reliability in the most demanding offshore fishing.
The patented DFD (Dual Force Drag) high-power system in Carbonite with Cal grease uses the entire surface of carbon fiber washers, maximizing efficiency and reaching maximum pressures exceeding 30kg. This unique system functions like a conventional lever drag reel, allowing drag presetting based on target species or required power.
The oversized grade 17-4 stainless steel spool shaft drastically reduces flex under extreme loads, while the precision-cut pinion gear ensures perfect meshing and optimal power transmission. The dual anti-reverse system incorporates a German stainless steel Quick-Set roller bearing for maximum strength and instant hooksets.
The machined aluminum spool two-tone anodized with LCS lip optimizes capacity and line release, while the screw-in handle arm in machined aluminum guarantees superior strength. The separate handles for right and left are specifically designed to ensure maximum strength regardless of retrieve direction.
Perfect for stand-up fighting, popping, jigging offshore, and all big game techniques requiring maximum drag power and structural integrity. The complete absence of die-cast components ensures ultimate reliability when targeting IGFA world records and trophy billfish.
