Abu Garcia Max 5 X

This low-profile baitcasting reel is built as a dependable allround tool for perch, zander and lighter pike fishing. The updated Gen 5 design sits comfortably in the hand, and the refined looks match the solid feel on the water.

Inside, the proven Duragear™ brass gearing delivers reliable cranking power and long-term durability, even with regular use. The MagTrax™ magnetic brake gives stable control through the entire cast and is easy to fine‑tune, which helps reduce backlashes and line tangle – especially helpful when learning baitcasting. Five stainless ball bearings plus one roller bearing provide a smooth retrieve, and the Power Disk™ drag system offers up to 7 kg of pressure, more than enough for hard‑fighting zander or a surprise pike.

Matched with a medium or medium‑heavy spin rod for lures around 10–60 g, this reel covers everything from jigging and vertical fishing to ismete and general predator fishing.
