4/13/2025 – Weekly Specials

This week we just received some special order Makaira 15T Gold reels and they're available at a smoking price over 30% off. The Daiwa Proteus EX series just arrived also and they have some very interesting models for the west coast fishing.

There's been some uncertainty between customers and manufacturers alike with the upcoming tariff changes. Because of how sudden the changes have been it's hard for manufacturers to nail down prices that will keep them in business without making the price of gear skyrocket, we definitely expect price increases across the board while they absorb as much of the tariffs as they can. If you're in the market for new gear I would recommend getting it before prices go up, or waiting on prices to eventually come down in the future whether that's later this year or in several years time. Prices of fishing gear made in the US will also likely increase towards the end of the year since things like aluminum, carbon fiber, fiberglass and rod components are often imported from affected countries. We'll do our best to maintain low prices, and continue providing big discount deals when opportunities come up as we've done with Okuma Tesoro's, Daiwa Sea Power 800's and various Avet Classic and G2 models.

If you’ve got pictures of some of your catches with our gear feel free to send us some pictures either to me at sergey@charkbait.com or Mark at information-1@charkbait.com

If you have any suggestions, complaints, questions or comments about the website please feel free to email me at: sergey@charkbait.com or give me a call at the shop.

As always, thank you for visiting our Weekly Specials and hope to see you at the shop!

Sincerely,
Sergey Smith

Makaira 15T SEA Gold 30% OFF

A few years ago Okuma ended up making a special model of 15TII SEa's in a gold color since it has been probably the most popular all around size for many different styles of fishing across the country. Okuma now wants to keep their lineup consistent with the SEa colors so they made us a deal we couldn't refuse on the rest of the stock they had and we are passing along the great deal to you. You will not find a sub $400 reel that is better in quality for heavy duty offshore fishing. 

The 15T size is great all around, it will hold over 500 yards of 60lb braid with a short leader or you can even bump up to 80lb for heavy bottom fishing and still get 400 yards of capacity. These reels have open bearings so they will freespool well for casting and enough drag to fish up to 80lb comfortably. The gear ratios are very suited for chasing bigger species as with all of the Makaira's and these reels even come with optional harness lugs despite the small size.
