CHAOS KC Live Bait Rod with Okuma Makaira Special Edition 10-II SEA Reel Combo

Chosen best overall for Mahi, the KC Classic Series Live Bait Rod paired with the Okuma Makaira Special Edition 10II-SEA delivers the ideal setup for dolphin fishing. This combo combines a lighter, stronger composite rod with a smooth, powerful reel engineered for live bait work. The KC Classic Series uses graphite and e-glass composite technology for reduced weight and faster action compared to earlier models. Its extra fast-taper blank is fitted with tough Fuji Turbo guides, under-wrapped and double-wrapped for durability. The soft, sensitive tip transitions to a powerful backbone ideal for live baiting pilchards, goggle eyes, and blue runners. At 15-25 lb. line class, it's perfectly balanced for schoolie and gaffer mahi while maintaining enough backbone for surprise bulls, sailfish, blackfin, and wahoo. The Makaira 10II-SEA features a matte black anodized aluminum frame with a silver-etched yellowfin tuna design. Its Carbonite Dual Force drag system and helical-cut gears deliver smooth, consistent performance. The oversized handle and lower low-speed gearing provide extreme torque for fighting fish. Open spool bearings with TSI-301 oil increase freespool 2.5 times, while precision stainless steel components and corrosion-resistant coating ensure longevity in saltwater conditions. This combo makes dolphin fishing more enjoyable than heavier 50-100 class gear.
