A good reel at a good price
August 6, 2012
A very good reel, at a reasonable price. Satisfactory capacity (MK-50II), very good handle, can be used with braid or mono lines, I truly recommend it.
Pros
Positive feeling during the fight Durable drag system loud clicker Durable metal construction
Cons
It could be a litle bit lighter

Great Upgrade from Older Okuma Titus Gold
January 13, 2021
I have been a user of Okuma reels for years. This reel is a great improvement over my Titus Gold 50Wlls. I understand that Tiberon was the partner in the design of the Makaria line. The overall fit and finish is excellent. The feel and heft of the new 50WII is also first class. Line capacity and drag is comparable or better than other major entries in the 50w class. The reel weighs less than its competition and carries a five year warranty. Timely shopping can bring this feature-packed reel into the price range of many off-shore anglers. Tackle Direct had the reel in stock and shipped it promptly. I will update this review when I can put this reel to use of the NC coast.

Makaira 30 II
November 20, 2020
I?ve fished yellowfin tuna for several years with this reel as my go to for free spooling black fin tuna bait with a 3?x3? chunk on a weightless on a 9/0 circle hook. This year I reeled in a 91 pound and 86 pound yellowfin within minutes on it. I watched others take 30 plus minutes to reel in the same size fish with a bigger reel and get their butt kicked when the fish gets close to the boat. This reel with a 6 foot okuma Makaira heavy rod can?t be beat in my opinion for this type of fishing. I even used it for trolling 2 years ago and caught a 135 pound beast. It took 45 minutes to land but when clicked into low gear near the boat, I it brought the beast into the gaff.

Mak15ii built like a tank
July 17, 2018
I only go charter boat in San Diego, got the Mak15ii and it is overkill for yellows, I am hoping to catch something bigger soon.. Otherwise I just winch them yellows to the boat easily, the smooth drag and dual speed make it very capable avoiding sharks and seals. Looking to get the Mak16/Mak20 when I do more than 1.5 days
Pros
Like they said, built like a tank and customer service is the best.
Cons
Little Heavy if you?re a wimp

BRUTE OF A REEL
June 1, 2018
I have been wanting one of these reels for years never had got around to getting one though. So I finally pulled the trigger and ordered one when I got the reel it was just what I expected got it 2 days earlier than what I was suppose to tackle direct does a great job with shipping I have to add. I spooled this reel with 100lb mono for a topshot and 1000 yards of 100lb power pro braid for backing....and the drag oh my goodness the drag so smooth and very very strong 85lbs of drag on a 50w is insane in my opinion cannot wait to get some sharks on the beach with this beauty of a reel.
Pros
85lbs of drag Line compacity Great looking reel
Cons
Absolutely nothing

Best Lever Drag 2 Speed Reel
May 4, 2018
I own Accurate DX2, BX2, Shimano Talica II and Okuma Makaira and I would rate the Makaira as the best. An absolute tank with such a smooth and consistent drag and enormous cranking power. This reel does not disappoint. Once you've used this, you wouldn't want to touch Accurate and Shimano again.
Pros
Great Design Smooth and consistent drag enormous cranking power.
Cons
Limited colours

Unexpected quality
December 22, 2017
This reel lived up to the raving reviews given by anglers on the west coast as a tuna slayer. Fit and finish is great. Line capacity is perfect for tuna under 200# (500yds 65# spider wire plus 25yds of 80# fluorocarbon). Had drag set at 22# full but never had to push it past strike to land several 75# class Louisiana yellow fin.
Pros
Super smooth drag. Tbar offset handle. Smooth shifting between low and high rear while under heavy drag. 4.7 to 1 high speed gear ratio.
Cons
A little heavy when compared to an Avet LX and HXJ. Reel seat clamp does not screw into reel frame. I prefer that design. The drag curve is very steep so it limits the range of drag settings.

OKUMA MK-80WII MAKAIRA
November 28, 2016
I purchased 2 Barrett shark rods . I asked Peter Barrett for his reel recommendation . Peter stated he owned 2 Makaira 80wii on his personal rods so I bought one . This reel is extremely powerful and can land large fish . Very large fish . It gets the sharks in before they are to far gone to recover and released .
Pros
Will winch in 10 foot tigers ! It looks amazing

The Mighty Monster.....

That's what I call this 10II, it is perfect for those tough fighting fish without the size and weight of the larger 30's...
Pros
Light Weight Tough Build 2 Speeds Great Handle Ultra Smooth
Cons
Seat doesn't fit all rods.

The best
May 12, 2015
In my opinion, the Okuma 30/50 is the best reel in this size class. The drag is ridiculous, and is super smooth. Having fished extensively with Avet, Penn and Tiagras, these reels take the cake. They are worth the few extra dollars.

Solid Reel
September 9, 2014
This reel felt like a tank when I picked it up. It is very solid, tough, but it is also very smooth. Great drag system (the new double drag system). Very beautiful design as well. My only complaint is that the Makaira 10 was a little heavy and wide for its class. Other than that is was absolutely perfect.
Pros
Dependable Doube Drag System Sturdy Nice Cosmetics Very low gear ratio for that extra torque Great 2 Speed system
Cons
Low Line Capacity Wide spool Heavy for its class
