Okuma Makaira 2-Speed Lever Drag reel is the benchmark tool for Big Game fishing, engineered to tackle the largest and most powerful fish like swordfish, large tuna, and sharks. It represents uncompromising excellence, thanks to numerous advanced patents that define its design, construction, and performance.

Its power begins with the machined rigid frame crafted from a single piece of 6061-T6 aluminum, with forged side plates, ensuring the ultimate in precision alignment and resistance to twist and pressure. The core of the fight is managed by the Carbonite Dual Force Drag (DFD) Lever Drag system with Cal's Universal Drag Grease. This patented system delivers an extremely smooth and progressive drag output, featuring a custom-designed thrust bearing that alleviates side load at heavy drag settings.

The 2-speed system (with a gold anodized gear housing) is comprised of two sets of 17-4 grade stainless steel helical-cut gears. This cut ensures not only increased torque and smoothness but also superior gear meshing and quiet operation. Ergonomic winding management is provided by the patented T-Bar Handle, which maximizes power with minimal angler fatigue.

Long-term reliability is guaranteed by the CRC (Corrosion Resistant Coating) process, which protects the gears and all internal and external parts. The reel also features a proprietary Silent Anti-Reverse System with a double-dog design supported by a 12-point anti-reverse pawl system, offering an exceptionally smooth and responsive retrieve feel.
