Derived from the Okuma 4D Concept which focuses on Design, Drive, Drag and Durability as core performance elements, Makaira spinning reels are built from the ground up to be the toughest, most durable spinning reels an angler can own. Constructed from the finest and strongest materials available, Makaira series reels are big game reels developed to pursue everything from Giant Trevally, trophy-sized Yellowtail and Amberjack, to the most formidable adversaries in the ocean, like giant Bluefin Tuna, Marlin, cow Yellowfin Tuna, and large sharks.  

Makaira Spinning reels feature forged, machine cut aluminum body, sideplate, and rotor, as well as a forged, machine cut stainless steel main gear.  The Dual Force Drag system utilizes drag washers on both the top, and bottom of the spool allows pressue to be put on the drag washers from both sides of the spool.  This maximizes the surface area of the washers, and dramaticaly improves heat dissition.  Lastly, Makaira reels have 23 different o-rings and gaskets, this makes the reel impervious to the harmful elements of salt water.  All backed by a 5 year warranty.
