Mine just started doing this but in high gear while reeling in a 250g flatfall. Took it apart and no missing teeth. Only thing I see is there's play with the main gears up and down on the main shaft
I took my brand new JUST OUT OF THE BOX makaira 20mSEA ON A BLUEFIN TRIP this summer. IT HAD 100 LB BRAID AND DRAG AT 25 LBS. WHILE IN LOW GEAR FIGHTING THE TUNA THE GEAR STARTED SLIPPING. THE CREW PUSHED THE DRAG TO FULL AND IT WAS STILL SLIPPING. SENT THE REEL TO OKUMA AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. HAS ANYONE ELSE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM???
happened a few times to me on my 30, to be fair I did spool it at 70lb of pressure(pumped sitting dow with a harness) but it never happened while fishing
Maybe ask Basil at BHP he must have spooled thousands of reels with spectra, ask him what drag he spools reels at. 20lbs of drag at that speed looks like a lot of load to me. I would have thought at 10 lbs all the stretch is out of the braid so anything more is just going to cause wear and tear or failure
10 pound load IS a lot of load--for sure, still with modern reels going way past that mark, I would not think there should be any slippage--not at the price tag.
I just watched you spool two reels and say they skip gears. But it's kind of your own fault in my book. It's low gear not 60+rmp gear. Low gear is for lifting/pulling at low speeds not ment for out of human capability cranking speed with a load. You add speed to any low gear does not work well in any situation car, truck4x4, bike ect. Your going to have the same results
He has videos of this happening with Penn's and other reels too. It's common with all of them. Actually the Penn's were skipping much more than this Mak 20 too. This was running the best.
have you try calling Okuma 🧐, I recalled watching other videos where you are having the same problem with other brand of reels ,maybe your winding machine is the problem. 20lbs low gear and at that speed , imagen driving in 1st gear at 20mph, what would happen
He was cranking too fast at 20lbs of pressure, the gears slip because of it. I don't imagine any reel able to crank that fast with 20lbs of pressure lol.
I purchased the 5II and it also skips,sent it back to Okuma twice and they cannot fix the problem.Purchased the Andros12sIIa,that works well in low gear and retrieves SLOW in regular gears.The Okuma repairs department is in HIATUS DUE TO THE CORONA VIRUS!!!GOODBYE Okuma,your craftmanship SUCKS!!

It's not just okuma. Penn 80vsw did the same thing. I've worked on 3 like that and they still do it.
Was the reel designed to spin that fast in low gear?
Probably not, I have no idea how someone would be able to reel that fast by hand
Irrelevant

Its cause you spinning it on low gear faster than its meant 2 be used

Is it common to wind line on two speed reels on low gear? Why not just wind it in normal gear?
More torque, can wind under more tension
It's like trying to turn the handle with 3ft stilsons. Waht do you expect?
Hi Alan, I would like to buy an okuma makaira 30 II sea. I've never owned an okuma and don't know about these reels. is the mechanics reliable?
That clunk while winding is why he posted this video. I would say probably not recommended.

yup
Okuma fan boy:
I’m a mechanical genius!
But common sense says no human can reel that fast!
Could be a stripped gear tooth inside the reel damn and being a Special Edition probably wont be any parts available for it .
Isn’t this a common issue with the Makairas or Okumas in general?
He has videos of this happening with Penn's and other reels too. It's common with all of them. Actually the Penn's were skipping much more than this Mak 20 too. This was running the best.
The makaira actually did best, look at the video of the Talica skipping
have you try calling Okuma 🧐, I recalled watching other videos where you are having the same problem with other brand of reels ,maybe your winding machine is the problem. 20lbs
low gear and at that speed , imagen driving in 1st gear at 20mph, what would happen
I see this issue more on penn visx than the makaira..
Is the problem with winder and not reel?
Cranking that fast with 20lbs of pressure is a recipe for disaster.
Why do you think this happens?
He was cranking too fast at 20lbs of pressure, the gears slip because of it. I don't imagine any reel able to crank that fast with 20lbs of pressure lol.
@@fadelover123 and he does that for a living , I see tackle shops spooling at no more than 10lb of pressure in big reels
@@fadelover123 What about when a BFT makes a run--and you have the drag set at that, or higher. Should it really slip?
Why create content and not interact with subscribers questions? Doesn’t make sense,,,,
What’s your motive? This is nothing new to two speed reels!!!
Take it out if low gear at that speed bud

WHO WANTS TO SEE THIS ? 😢
Okuma garbage....get a Shimano!
