COLUMBIA, S.C. – The Abu Garcia Max spinning reels have been an exceptional option for anglers looking for performance without breaking the bank. New for 2024, the Max lineup received a major upgrade, now completely redesigned to offer anglers technology normally only found in higher priced spinning reels.

Utilizing the V-spool and V-rotor design, originally developed for the Abu Garcia Zenon spinning family, combined with the AMG CNC machined gear system, the Max Elite offers ultra-smooth gear feel with a low-inertia rotor. This delivers exceptional, effortless reeling and durability, making it the ideal choice for anglers who are looking for performance at an exceptional value.

With its enhanced features, the Max Elite spinning reel stands out in its class. The inclusion of a lightweight carbon handle and a C6 carbon-infused body significantly reduces the overall weight, ensuring effortless handling and increased comfort during long days on the water. The advanced Rocket Line management system and Rocket Spool Lip provides superior line control, reducing the chances of wind knots and tangles.

“The redesign of the Max Elite spinning reel was focused on integrating high-end technologies to create a product that meets the needs of avid anglers,” said Director, Brand and Product at Abu Garcia, Andrew Wheeler. “By incorporating features like the V-spool and V-rotor design, we’ve ensured that the Max Elite offers unmatched smoothness and durability, making it an incredibly high-performing reel for its price.”
