Okuma Fishing Tackle unveils the Makaira Yellowfin Tuna Limited Edition Lever Drag 2-Speed Reel—a striking expression of power, precision, and rarity within the renowned Makaira SEa family. Crafted on the proven Makaira platform and finished in a bold, multi-colored anodization inspired by the electric hues of yellowfin tuna, this limited release elevates offshore performance into a statement piece. Designed not just to perform, but to stand apart, it delivers uncompromising strength and unmistakable presence on the water.
The Makaira Yellowfin Tuna Limited Edition reels feature Okuma’s rigid 6061-T6 machined aluminum frame and side plate construction for maximum strength and precision alignment under heavy drag loads. The reels are equipped with forged and machined aluminum spools, stainless steel main and pinion gears, and Okuma’s proprietary Dual Force Drag system designed to deliver smooth, consistent drag pressure throughout extended offshore battles.
As part of the Makaira SEa family, these reels also incorporate helical cut gearing for increased gear engagement and smoothness, a Silent Anti-Reverse system for reduced handle back play, and a Carbonite drag system with Cal’s drag grease for superior heat management and long-term durability. The 2-speed gearing system allows anglers to quickly shift between high-speed line pickup and powerful low-speed torque when fighting large tuna and other pelagic species.
Designed for serious offshore anglers targeting tuna, marlin, and other powerful pelagic species, the Makaira Yellowfin Tuna Limited Edition Lever Drag 2-Speed Reel reflects Okuma’s continued focus on building gear that performs when it matters most. Backed by Okuma’s 5-year warranty, this limited release is available in select quantities through authorized Okuma dealers and tackle shops nationwide.
