Okuma Makaira Special Edition Lever Drag Reel

The Okuma Makaira Special Edition Lever Drag Reels are gaining an enthusiastic following due to their durability, drag systems and cranking power. These two-speed, high performance reels utilize special screw ports around side plate screws to reduce water/corrosion buildup. Makaira Special Edition Reels have an open top frame design and open spool bearings with TSI-301 oil, increasing freespool by 2.5 times. All non-spool bearings have a full grease pack for maximum longevity. Other features include gunsmoke and black anodizing. A yellowfin tuna is etched into the side plate. A machined out frame increases clearance between the spool and cross bars. A ratcheting drag lever and drag cam allow precise drag settings. Heavy-duty, 17-4 grade stainless steel drive and spool shafts assure smooth reliability, and a forged aluminum reel foot and clamp sport a Type III anodized finish. A lug and plug system is included for use with or without harness lugs. Manufacturer's five year limited warranty.
