Mako Reel Company

Welcome to the Mako Reel Company collection at Lost Coast Outfitters, where fly reels meet aerospace-level precision and durability. Mako Reel Company was founded by Jack Charlton, who leveraged his background in aerospace machining to reinvent the fly reel with modern materials and sealed drag systems.

Each Mako reel features a fully sealed carbon fiber drag system engineered to resist corrosion from salt, sand, and debris, making them ideal for both freshwater and demanding saltwater fisheries. Their signature “one-turn, lock-to-lock” drag knob ensures consistent drag settings and repeatable performance across fishing trips. 

When you choose a Mako reel from Lost Coast Outfitters, you're investing in gear built to last—with artisan machining, intelligent design, and a legacy of performance. Browse our selection, review specs, and match the right Mako Reel Company model to your rod, fishery, and style.
