Okuma’s Makaira spinning reels are in a class of their own, featuring a forged stainless steel, machined MAXGEAR.
While the majority of reels in this category feature bronze, aluminum or simple machine cut stainless steel gears, the
Makaira’s class leading main gears are machine cut forged stainless steel. We ported the main gear and incorporated
other design elements to keep it light weight enough for you to fish all day. No compromises were made in the
internal design of MAXGEAR. The pinion gear and heat treated spool shaft are 17-4 grade machine cut stainless steel.
They are rust proof and were optimized to work with braided line and the reels high-output drag.
