Spinning Reels Okuma Makaira 10000 Left Hand Spinning Fishing Reel

Okuma Makaira 10000 Left Hand Spinning Fishing Reel

The Okuma Makaira 10000 Spinning Game Reel is built from the ground up to the toughest, most durable spinning reel you can own. Made from the finest and strongest materials available, the Makaira features Forged Aluminium sideplate and rotor with Forged Stainless Steel Gears. Cyclonic Flow Rotor increases airflow for faster drying time. Dual Force Drag System plus a High Output Drag of 65lbs.

The special pre-set function sets the Makaira apart from other spinning reels. Just like the Makaira lever drag, the Makaira spinning reel DFD comprises a wet Carbonite drag system featuring Cal’s drag grease for low start up inertia and extreme heat protection. This pre-set features allows for precise drag setting so you can customise base on your fishing style. Best of all, with 23 different seals the Makaira Spin is completely waterproof. The goal in mind when designing the Makaira and that was to build every component to withstand the harsh elements and pressures of a big game environment.

DFD: Dual Force Drag System
The Makaira drag system utilises the complete surface area of the carbon fibre drag washers; the system is engineered to make full contact with the outer edges of the carbon washers, maximising efficiency and the ability to deliver high drag outputs. The DFD concept applies pressure to both sides of the spool in order to maximise use of the available surface area, enlarging the working surfaces of the drag system and dramatically improving heat dissipation.

Forged Aluminum Housing
In order to build a reel with no compromise, Okuma engineers constructed the frame, sideplate and rotor of forged aluminium. They wanted to ensure stability, consistency and ultimate strength. There are no diecast or injected carbon parts on this reel. There are machined aluminum reel on the market, but the forging process prior to machine cutting takes the Makaira to a completely different level of product performance.

Powered by Forged Stainless
The Makaira spinning reel is in a class of its own featuring a forged stainless steel, machine cut main gear. This reel is designed for ultimate strength, but light enough to fish all day long, which is why the main gear is ported and incorporated other design elements to keep the reel light in weight, but strong in power.

CFR (Cyclonic Flow Rotor)
Cyclonic Flow Rotor (CFR) is designed to create “cyclonic” airflow, which significantly increases air flow through the ported rotor. This thoroughly tested design allows for a much faster drying time if the reel becomes wet, minimising corrosion possibility through out the reel. CFR also creates a lighter-weight and a more rigid rotor which reduces the flex and rotational coherence and creates a more precise mechanical operation.

Dual Anti-Reverse
The Makaira spinning reel is equipped with a dual anti-revere system, in order to match the same strength and integrity as the rest of the reel. The Quick-Set anti-reverse features a top of the line German stainless steel one-way roller bearing for maximum strength and pulling power. In order to enhance the design further, Okuma engineers equipped this reel with a backup system that incorporated a ratchet that is mounted on the drive shaft on the backside of the main gear.

Hydro Sealed Body and DFD
The Makaira spinning reel is engineered to withstand the most brutal conditions the ocean can offer. To accomplish this, the reel is equpped with 23 different oil-retaining o-rings and gaskets making it impervious to the elements, and by making it water tight, all the internal mechanisms are sealed and protected from salt.
