Experience unmatched strength and precision with Okuma's Machined Rigid Frame (MRF) construction. The one-piece, fully-machined aluminium frame offers superior alignment and tolerances, withstanding more pressure and torque than any other material in the industry. These anodised frames are a key feature on our fly, baitcast, lever drag, and star drag trolling reels.
Key Features:
Frame & Gearing: Features a 6061-T6 machined aluminium frame, forged side plates, and 17-4 grade stainless steel helical cut gears for increased torque and smooth, improved gear meshing.
Two-Speed System: All Makaira reels feature a gold-anodized two-speed gearing system.
Durable Spool: A cold-forged, Type-II anodised, machined aluminium spool with a patented spool pin system is compatible with both braided and mono lines.
Corrosion Resistance: Our Corrosion Resistant Coating (CRC) process, precision-placed drain holes, and special screw ports reduce water and corrosion build-up.
Advanced Drag System: The Carbonite Dual Force drag system, featuring Cal’s universal drag grease, works with a custom-designed thrust bearing to alleviate side load on heavy drag settings. A ratcheting drag lever and pre-set knob allow for precise adjustments.
Smooth & Silent Operation: Equipped with 4 ABEC-5 precision Sapporo stainless steel ball bearings (6 on the MK-80WII) and a proprietary double-dog, silent anti-reverse system.
Ergonomic Design: Includes a patented T-Bar handle with an Easy Roll graphite insert, a machined thumb rest on the rear cross bar, and an open-top frame design on select models.
Heavy-Duty Components: Built with a heavy-duty stainless steel ratcheting clicker, 17-4 grade stainless steel drive and spool shafts, and a forged, full hard-anodized aluminium reel foot and clamp.
Finishing Touches: The reel boasts a Type-II gold anodised finish on the frame, side plates, spool, drag lever, and handle, plus a machine-etched marlin logo on the left side plate.
