Abu Garcia Max Series © Abu Garcia

We upgraded our most popular line of reels and combos with top-dollar components and modern aesthetics. We believe a better reel shouldn't break the bank. Now with the revamped Max series, you don't have to forfeit premium performance for price.

Available in three different models, Max reels are designed with every angler in mind.

Fish where, what, and how you want.

Max X

The Max X provides all-day fishing comfort and increased castability with oversized PVC knobs and updated ergonomic frame design. Its 4 +1 stainless steel bearing system provides smooth retrieves, while our easily adjustable MagTrax™ Braking System gives you better control over your cast to avoid frustrating backlashes.

Max STX

When it comes to efficiency, the STX reigns supreme. Featuring a flipping switch for easy one-handed operation, the STX excels at long days on the water thanks to oversized co-molded soft touch knobs. Whether you're working spinnerbaits around shoreline cover or swimming a swimbait offshore, the 5+1 stainless steel bearing system lets you cast further and reel smoother, no matter what technique you are using.

Max Pro

With a 7.1:1 gear ratio, the Pro is the fastest reel in our Max line up. That lightning speed lets you quickly retrieve slack in your line for improved hooksets. Equipped with oversized

co-molded soft touch knobs, the Pro provides long-lasting comfort on marathon days. With durable 7+1 stainless steel bearing and MagTrax™ Braking systems, there's nothing holding you back from catching your new personal best.
