This Pro Max reel is especially made for left handed anglers. The reel is updated with a more compact design and smoother feel thanks to advances in technology. The top-of-line Abu Garcia Max series reel features a special fit for lefties with seven smooth bearings plus a corrosion resistant instant anti-reverse bearing. Its graphite side plates and frame create a truly lightweight reel, weighing in at a mere 7.9 oz. The 7.1:1 high-speed gear ratio is the fastest in the Max family, picking up 31" per turn. Matched with a 24-ton graphite rod featuring high-density EVA handles for superior sensitivity, this duo is built for performance.
