Abu Garcia Max SX Spinning Reel 3000 6.4kg 230g 64cm 5.2:1

Abu Garcia Max SX 3000 – Compact Power for Confident Line Control

Inspired by Abu Garcia's premium Revo® and Zenon™ series, the Max SX 3000 combines asymmetric graphite construction with V-Rotor and V-Spool technology to deliver a surprisingly lightweight, compact spinning reel that punches above its class.

Tournament-Proven Smoothness and Line Management

Seven precision bearings—six stainless steel ball bearings plus one roller bearing—ensure effortlessly smooth cranking under load. The Rocket Line Management™ system and Rocket Spool Lip Design™ work together to control every type of line, from fine mono to thick braid, reducing wind knots and improving casting distance. The machined aluminum braid-ready spool lets you tie braid directly without backing or slippage.

Ultra-Low Inertia for Instant Hooksets

The V-Rotor system reduces rotational mass and start-up inertia, so the bail flips instantly and you feel every tap on the line. The asymmetric graphite frame and rotor keep overall weight down to just 230 g while maintaining rigidity. An Instant Anti-Reverse system eliminates backplay, and the 6.4 kg oil-felt front drag delivers consistent pressure across the full range.
