Is This the Best Saltwater Conventional Fishing Reel? Okuma Makaira Unboxing!

- Is this the best saltwater big game conventional fishing reel? In this video, I am unboxing the Okuma Makaira big game reel. First impressions are very good and I have to admit, after disassembling the reel, I am very impressed. Not only is the housing aluminum and sturdy but there are NO plastic parts within the reel. I think this is rare these days, manufacturers are always trying to cut costs and many substitute metal and aluminum parts for cheaper plastic parts.
I am also happy t announce that I have signed on with Okuma for the 2021 season. I am looking forward to bring you quality content with quality products. I will always be completely transparent regardless of my affiliation or not. If you are in the market for a new reel that won't break the bank and offers an awesome five-year warranty then this might be an option for you, might even be the best conventional reel for 2021.

Nice office you have there! Looking like a beast of a reel! Can’t want to put her to good use! Congratulations on 100k my friend, hard work payed off 💯💯💯
Always a complete honest review with Capt. Taylor and I really appreciate that and I am sure other subscribers do too!
I will do a more thorough review once I use it for a while but I'm impressed with the initial unboxing. Thanks for the comment.
Congrats on the sponsorship! That is one sexy reel. I love Okuma products. You are gonna be very happy with Okuma as well.
Thanks Jeff, so far I'm very pleased. 👍
Wow, love the editing and I need to get my hands on that reel, pronto!
Awesome hook-up with OKUMA !!!
Congratulations....
OK Josh, Got to Love it ~ (6:53) pulling in the Big One and a train sounds. Geeezz!!! 😂 I also love your decor, it has that outdoorsie feeling. Can't wait to see a big fish pulling that rod, reel, you in the "new" boat around. Go get um! Good Luck! Stay Well and God Bless ✝
It was epic timing right Dino? Thanks, takes a lot of skill to bring nature to the office. 😂
Awesome video always love seeing those beautiful reels just makes me want to spend more of my life savings on fishing gear 😂
hey, we have to live a little right he he.
Looks like a beauty of a reel
She is for sure, gonna go and put it to the test.
That thing looks like a certified beast
It is for sure
Nice way you took that reel apart. I haven't used one of these yet. My whole life i've always had 1 or 2 boats in front. But my dive partner told me he's going to open up his 17' Whaler for shoreline trolling so i'm back in it since i let my 2 dive boats go bye bye. . I can see using the 50 & 80 for off the 40-60fm ledge. Must be nice being water-side. And Dave is a great guy to work with. Really nice video by the way.
You never dropped the video about the rod... What size is it and how did it treat you?
Okuma... can't go wrong with that! 👍👍
I like all my reels and rods so far. Time will tell how they stand up to my fishing abuse lol.
@@Saltyscales I have a Okuma Azores Blue 9000 for YFT fishing. Gets the job done! Okuma has quality stuff at a great price point. Pretty sure you won't be disappointed, good choice! 😉
Nice reel it looks to be very well made and I agree all that thought in it and they put a plastic knob
Not sure why they did that, I'll have to get some feedback from Dave. 👀
Okuma sea are the goats I own two 80w for land based shark fishing. And the drag ramp and smoothness is top of the line
I'm looking forward to testing her. 🙂
I love their reels. Love working on them too
I opened this baby up, looks solid and easy to maintenance.
Just picked up the same reel. It is very nice. Looking forward to using it on some bft.....
Enjoy it
Great review. The On/Off lever for the clicker is actually aluminum and black anodized.
Good to know, it just doesn't feel aluminum.
You can’t see it but I got a big smile on my face , the reason , when I went hunting for my new fly reel I had sticker shock ! Then by chance while I was at Gator Jim’s they had a 9 wt Okuma fly reel that was not only vary affordable but the quality was just as good if not better than most of the competitors, I’m sold on their products, I can’t wait to see you arm wrestle a sea monster, do yourself a favor and get a lanyard ( parachute cord and clip) so you don’t do a Chris and let it go for a swim , looking into a Okuma fly rod next ! Action at skyway south , the bite was on , mac’s, pompano , broke off 3 times , to light of gear using wire next time ! Tight lines ! 👍🏼
Awesome, glad you found a gem. Skyway bite is pretty good right now. My next video is at the pier but we went on a one tide day and struggled.
Nice vid
Nice review- hope you are going to demonstrate it on the water
Absolutely, stay tuned!
So nice! Ik someone that might like it a lot! 😍😍😍
Sharing link to him!😁😁
Super nice.
Yes sir!
I have used some smaller Okuma rods and reels, good product for the price. No complaints whatsoever. I'll be eager to hear how their big game tackle treats you.
Yes sir, they just sent me some of their spinning reels and I can't wait to put them to the test.
Got the 16ii SEa & the 30ii SEa I see a 50 in my future.
Okuma's new saltwater stuff is badass, i target 100lb gar with the komodo ss, just got the alijos 2 speed for landbased shark fishing. Mak 50w is my next one, i used tiagras, talicas and a calcutta 700b for the longest but the okumas have better gearing and feel just a tad bit more robust. I cant speak on their bass bass reels or spinning gear, for that i fanboy over daiwa and shimano,but their conventional reels are the cream of the crop.
You can cast the alijos?
The Best reel ever built 2nd to Accurate ATD. Penn is trying to replicate it in their VISX.
What’s a good Rod for the mak 20ii for tuna
Can u make a video using the reel?
Ive got the 50 w with 85 lbs of drag ans at around 980 yrds of 130 lb braid
Thinking of spooling it with 200lb for the giant bluefins though
almost to 100k subscribers
Yes indeed
@@Saltyscales Ya made it congratulations 🥳🥳🥳
I’m surprise it doesn’t come with a rod clamp with all that drag beautiful real though
Hey Pete, it comes with clamps, oil and tools. 👍
How do i get sponsorship and help launch some of this beautiful products in the pacific islands. PALAU 2 be exact
Work hard, build your following. Offer value to companies and you'll get sponsorships.
@@Saltyscales preciate it🤙🏾
Where are the videos of you fishing with it
We fish a lot with it at night, (Sharks, goliaths) very difficult to make quality fishing videos at night. However we have invested in some lights so stay tuned.
Can we jig with this beast
First
🙌
you need to take that rod out trout fishing lol
Second
RAH..
Joseph Mccarthy semper fi
Spending all dat money on dat ,Better come in a Wodden BOX.

Man get out of here man I have makaira 8 I jumped poles with that reel and I have accurate I am a machinist so I know Okuma makaira it's a thing I am in Florida to i can tell I have a lighter rod and reel no kingfish ever spoold Makara 8 yeah I get brand loyalty I like Shimano calcutta's I should have been Outfitter
I never said you couldn't use a lighter setup and this would not be my go to for kingfish. I simply stated that is is a great all around big game reel and you can catch kings also.
I caught plenty of king fish with my makaira 8 as well everything else
