Product Description

Abu Garcia Max 5 Elite RKT Low Profile Baitcasting Reel 9.0:1 – Left Hand

The Abu Garcia Max 5 Elite RKT Low Profile Baitcasting Reel is built for anglers who demand exceptional speed, precision, and performance. Incorporating technology derived from the renowned Revo® 5 platform, the Max Elite delivers premium features in a lightweight, ergonomic design at outstanding value.

Engineered with Abu Garcia's innovative A-Symmetrical graphite frame, the reel offers improved comfort and handling while maintaining excellent strength and durability. Its standout feature is the ultra-fast 9.0:1 gear ratio, making it the ideal choice for techniques that require rapid line pickup, such as burning spinnerbaits, working topwater lures, frogging, or quickly recovering slack line after a strike.

The upgraded carbon drag system provides smooth, consistent stopping power with a maximum drag rating of 18lb (8.2kg), giving anglers the confidence to battle hard-fighting fish. A 90mm bent aluminium handle, fitted with oversized co-moulded soft-touch knobs, delivers increased cranking leverage and superior comfort throughout the day.

Whether you're targeting bass, tigerfish, or other aggressive freshwater predators, the Abu Garcia Max 5 Elite RKT combines high-speed performance with dependable power and refined ergonomics.
