The New Makaira is the best reel Okuma makes. Its a completely redesigned reel - nothing like the Okuma reels of the past.

Okuma has handed out several of these reels for people to fish hard - and then return to Okuma for evaluation - so far, so good.

They have taken some big fish this year including this #274 Yellowfin at the bottom of this link.
Read the reel specs, double dog anti-reverse and more.

Personally I like Okuma gear and the price is also nice. I have a spinning reel that I have owned for about 10 years and it's still going strong. I also like the big reels as well.

SHOP LOCAL !!!

I pretty sure squidco and/or charkbait will beat those prices, in most cases by alot! check'em out!

I like the graphite reels from the major manufacturers for the kayak. They are built tough, easy to service and parts are cheap/easy to find.
The Diawa Sealine sha-30-40 or 50 and the Shimano TLD-15 lever drag are my favorites.
