Abu Garcia Max STX 40 — precision line control for every cast

The Max STX 40 spinning reel combines the innovative Rocket Line Management System™ with a robust 6-bearing drivetrain to deliver smooth, reliable performance for medium to heavy spinning applications.

Rocket Line Management for superior casting

The Rocket Line Management System™ and Rocket Spool Lip Design™ work together to give you better control over line release and retrieval. Slow oscillation ensures even line lay with monofilament, braid, and fluorocarbon alike, reducing tangles and improving casting distance.

Built to last, designed to perform

Five stainless steel ball bearings plus one instant anti-reverse roller bearing provide silky-smooth operation under load. The lightweight graphite body and rotor keep overall weight down, while the machined aluminium spool offers strength without bulk. The Everlast™ bail system resists wear and impact for seasons of dependable service.
