Mako 9500 - Built for the Harshest Saltwater Battles

Engineered for anglers who demand absolute reliability in extreme saltwater environments, the Mako 9500 combines uncompromising strength, ultra-smooth performance, and precision-machined durability. The 9500 delivers flawless drag control and rock-solid confidence when the fight turns brutal.

Key Features

Fully Sealed Architecture

Protected by a system of O-rings and proprietary carbon/Teflon lip seals, the 9500 remains completely sealed from salt, sand, and grit-ensuring long-term reliability in the harshest conditions.

Full-Contact Carbon-Fiber Drag System

Featuring our exclusive button technology, the drag system applies smooth, even pressure from the instant a fish takes off, eliminating start-up friction and providing unmatched control during blistering runs.

Large Calibrated Drag Knob

A precisely indexed drag knob with a true "one-turn stop" offers complete access to the reel's full drag range-allowing fast, intuitive adjustments when big fish change direction or surge unexpectedly.

Premium Finishes

Available in ultra-durable Type III anodization (Black & Classic Camo) along with a selection of Enhanced Type II colors-each engineered to withstand heavy saltwater use while maintaining a flawless finish.
