The Okuma Makaira Yellowfin Tuna Limited Edition Lever Drag 2-Speed Reels are a bold new addition to the legendary Makaira SEa family, combining elite offshore performance with a striking custom finish inspired by one of the ocean’s most iconic gamefish. Designed for serious offshore anglers targeting tuna, marlin, and other powerful pelagic species, this limited-edition reel delivers the proven strength and reliability of the Makaira platform with unmistakable style on the water.
Built on the same platform trusted by offshore anglers around the world, the Makaira Yellowfin Tuna Limited Edition features a rigid 6061-T6 machined aluminum frame and side plate construction for maximum strength and precise alignment under heavy drag loads. Forged and machined aluminum spools, oversized stainless steel main and pinion gears, and precision-machined internal components provide the durability and cranking power needed for extreme offshore battles.
As part of the Makaira SEa family, the reel incorporates Okuma’s advanced Dual Force Drag system with Carbonite drag washers and Cal’s drag grease for smooth, consistent drag performance and superior heat management during long fights. Helical cut gearing increases gear engagement and smoothness, while the Silent Anti-Reverse system minimizes handle back play and enhances reliability under heavy loads.
The powerful 2-speed gearing system allows anglers to instantly shift between high-speed line pickup and low-speed torque, giving anglers complete control when fighting large tuna and other hard-fighting offshore species.
What truly sets the Makaira Yellowfin Tuna Limited Edition apart is its stunning custom anodized finish. Inspired by the vibrant electric blues, metallic tones, and vivid yellows of yellowfin tuna, the multi-colored anodizing gives each reel a unique offshore appearance worthy of the species it was built to target.
Combining proven Makaira SEa performance with eye-catching offshore styling, the Makaira Yellowfin Tuna Limited Edition reels are built for anglers who demand strength, durability, and premium design every time they step aboard.
