Abu Garcia Max Pro SP40 — Smooth, Versatile Mid-Size Spinning Reel

The Max Pro SP40 delivers tournament-grade smoothness and reliable performance in a lightweight graphite package, perfect for anglers targeting everything from bass to pike.

Seven-Bearing Precision

With six stainless steel ball bearings plus one roller bearing, the Max Pro SP40 operates with exceptional smoothness under load. The Instant Anti-Reverse eliminates backplay, giving you instant hooksets and solid control when fighting fish. A machined aluminum spool adds strength without extra weight, while the felt drag system delivers 6.4 kg of stopping power.

Rocket Line Management System

Abu Garcia's Rocket Line Management system features a specially designed spool lip that controls line release for longer, more accurate casts with both mono and braid. Slow Oscillation ensures even line lay across the spool, reducing wind knots and tangles. The Everlast bail system improves durability, so you can fish with confidence season after season.
