Good Deal on MAK 15 SEA

[FishRock]

I know they are a bit of a quirky reel and not everyone sees a use for one but Charkbait is currently selling the MAK 15 SEA for $399 with free shipping. That is $100 off MSRP.

Good deal for the price. Can't go wrong.

I love mine, never understood the issues people have with this model. That’s a hell of a good deal

 

[greatbasin]

One of my favorites! Badass fish killer...

 

[hucklongfin]

I never liked them due to the width until I actually used one and it was fine!

 

[greatbasin]

Like a old jigmaster with 3x the Freespool and drag.

Thanks for the heads up, just picked one up today with 575yds of 60.

Damn good 100lb tuna reel. Both of mine are filled with 80 braid, 60lb leader. Perfect Gaudalupe reel for 60lb

I have the 30sea and it gets a little heavy at times...

 

[FishRock]

And you can actually cast the 15 since the spool is so light.

Hollow 60 or solid. What brand?

 

[OCFishie]

Toro tamer solid.

Resistance was futile on my behalf. I bought 2

The 15 is a badass reel. I have mine filled with 80lb Hollow and fish 50-60lb BHP wind on leaders on it.

 

[OCFishie]

Now need to find a rod to go with it.

All depends on budget and target fish. If works well on a UC Centaur or Raptor at the Lupe.

 

[OCFishie]

I'm picking up both a RCX76 Centaur and a US80 Predator. Will test both out to see which matches best.

 

[FishRock]

Likely the Centaur if pushig the limits and the Predator for everything else.

Got mine today. I do not see anything quirky about the reel. I do not think it is too wide, has good weight, 500 yards of 60lb hollow line, fantastic buy.

I agree. I am quite happy with mine and don't have any issues with the width. Glad you got in on the deal.

I really like my 15 and don’t see what the issues are. I also picked up an 8 and just used it on a trip, what an awesome 30-40lb little reel. To bad it’s been discontinued

Still a few new ones around.

Which one did you go with? I’m debating the predator vs raptor for the one I just ordered.

 

[OCFishie]

I put the 15ii on the Predator and the 16ii on the Centaur. Pulled this 60lber on the 15ii/predator combo last week and it was smooth.

is my favorite reel in my arsenal for fishing BOLA and Gonzaga Bay in Baja, Mx

in the 1st pic was paired with a phenix Axis 820H, now is paired with a shorter rod which is better to use on a Panga, a Custom Seeker CTSF60XH built by me and 100# hollow Jerry Brown line
