Product Description

Abu Garcia Max 5 Elite Rocket Low Profile Baitcasting Reel

The Abu Garcia Max 5 Elite Rocket Low Profile Baitcasting Reel is engineered for anglers who demand exceptional speed, lightweight performance, and precision. Featuring an ultra-fast 9.0:1 gear ratio and an impressive 93cm line retrieval per handle turn, this Rocket model is built for techniques that require rapid line pickup, making it ideal for topwater fishing, frogging, pitching, flipping, and quickly recovering slack line after a strike.

Built around Abu Garcia's premium C6 Carbon Frame and Crank Side Plate, the Max 5 Elite Rocket offers an outstanding balance of lightweight performance, rigidity, and durability. The ergonomic design, inherited from the flagship ZENON and Revo platforms, features an asymmetrical profile and offset thumb rest for a deeper, more secure grip and improved comfort during extended fishing sessions.

The reel is equipped with a Carbon Matrix™ Drag System featuring a drag clicker, delivering smooth and consistent drag performance with a maximum drag of 8kg while providing audible feedback during powerful runs. Abu Garcia's proven MagTrax™ magnetic braking system offers reliable spool control with adjustable internal magnets, allowing anglers to fine-tune casting performance for different lure weights and fishing conditions.

A compact 33mm spool, durable Duragear™ brass gearing, smooth 9+1 bearing system, and a 90mm aluminium handle with oversized paddle knobs complete a reel designed for tournament-level performance and exceptional control.
