The Mako Tournament Fly Reel is Mako&';s big-game saltwater platform with the ergonomics finally sorted out. Underneath it is the same reel that built the brand&';s reputation on tarpon flats: a fully sealed carbon fiber drag a taper lock quick-change spool a three ball bearing spindle assembly and machining held to the aerospace tolerances Jack Charlton brought to the company. What the Tournament adds are two refinements that matter when a fish is already running. The drag knob stands proud of the frame instead of sitting flush in the porting so you can find it and turn it with a wet or gloved hand rather than digging fingers into the ports.
