Choose MAX4-LP-40 or MAX4-LP-41 LH for the lighter 261 g platform with 220 m of 0.32 mm monofilament capacity and 6.4:1 gearing. MAX4-LP60 and MAX4-LP61 LH hold 270 m at the same diameter and have 5.3:1 gearing, but weigh 368 g and 369 g respectively. The larger platform gives more line reserve at the cost of extra weight.
MAX4-LP-41 LH and MAX4-LP61 LH have left-hand retrieve. MAX4-LP-40 and MAX4-LP60 have right-hand retrieve. Choose the version that lets you wind with your preferred hand, then select the line capacity you need.
Yes. The reels are built for large predator baits, and the supplier also specifies trolling and baitfish fishing. The switchable bait clicker sounds when line leaves the spool, making outgoing line audible in those situations. It is a line-out alarm, not a line counter, so it does not provide a measured trolling distance.
Only the right-hand MAX4-LP60 has a stated retrieve of 75 cm per turn. MAX4-LP-40, MAX4-LP-41 LH and MAX4-LP61 LH are listed at 64 cm per turn. Compare the individual model's retrieve when choosing how much line you want to recover with each handle turn.
MagTrax™ is the magnetic spool brake for controlling the cast. Power Stack™ Carbon Matrix drag controls line release when a fish pulls, so the two systems serve different stages of fishing. A maximum drag of 12 kg is specified for MAX4-LP60 only, and should not be assumed for the other models.
MAX4-LP-40, MAX4-LP-41 LH and MAX4-LP61 LH are explicitly listed as not pre-spooled and without a spare spool. You need to add your own main line for these versions. The supplied evidence does not specify either item for MAX4-LP60, so check its contents if these are important to your purchase.

These fourth-generation low-profile baitcasting reels are designed for heavy-duty fishing with large softbaits and hardbaits for pike and large zander. Power Stack™ Carbon Matrix drag controls line release when playing large fish, while the switchable bait clicker gives an audible line-out alarm for trolling and deadbait fishing. All four versions come in Grey/Red.
The MagTrax™ magnetic casting brake controls the spool during a cast. It serves a different role from the Carbon Matrix drag, which controls line release under load. Four stainless steel HPCR ball bearings and one roller bearing provide smooth running. Duragear™ brass gearing is designed for heavy-duty use with large baits.
The machined aluminum spool sits in a one-piece graphite frame with graphite sideplates. The extended bent handle and large co-molded soft-touch knobs provide a substantial grip for retrieving large lures. The clicker can be switched on for an audible indication of outgoing line or off when not needed.
Choose the handle side you want to use for winding. MAX4-LP-40 and MAX4-LP60 are right-hand versions (RH), while MAX4-LP-41 LH and MAX4-LP61 LH are left-hand versions (LH). Both size groups support large-bait casting, trolling and deadbait fishing. The main choice is line capacity, gearing and weight rather than a different fishing technique.
The MAX4-LP-40 and MAX4-LP-41 LH use the 40LP platform with a 6.4:1 gear ratio. Each weighs 261 g and retrieves 64 cm per handle turn. Monofilament capacities are 220 m at 0.32 mm, 190 m at 0.35 mm and 155 m at 0.38 mm. Braid capacities are 285 m at 0.29 mm, 215 m at 0.36 mm and 150 m at 0.41 mm. These are the lighter options when their line capacity meets your needs.
The MAX4-LP60 and MAX4-LP61 LH use the larger 60 platform with a 5.3:1 gear ratio and hold 270 m of 0.32 mm monofilament. This gives more line reserve than the 40LP platform, at a higher weight. The right-hand MAX4-LP60 weighs 368 g, retrieves 75 cm per turn and has a stated maximum drag of 12 kg. The left-hand MAX4-LP61 LH is listed as 60LP, weighs 369 g and retrieves 64 cm per turn. Its additional monofilament capacities are 230 m at 0.35 mm and 190 m at 0.38 mm. Its braid capacities are 350 m at 0.29 mm, 260 m at 0.36 mm and 185 m at 0.41 mm. Choose by the individual retrieve figure, not by gear ratio alone.
The MAX4-LP-40, MAX4-LP-41 LH and MAX4-LP61 LH have instant anti-reverse and star-drag adjustment with carbon-fiber drag material. These three versions are supplied without line or a spare spool, so you need to spool your chosen main line before fishing.
