Abu Garcia Max X Spinning Reel SP40 278g 6.4kg 67cm 4

Abu Garcia Max X SP40 – Smooth Line Management for Versatile Spinning

The Abu Garcia Max X SP40 combines a lightweight graphite body with the innovative Rocket Line Management™ System, delivering precise line control and smooth operation for both monofilament and braid. With 4 bearings, a machined aluminum spool, and 6.4 kg drag power, this size 40 reel offers reliable performance at an excellent price point.

Rocket Line Management™ for Superior Line Control

The Rocket Line Management™ System features a specially designed Rocket Spool Lip that guides line evenly off the spool, reducing tangles and improving casting distance. Combined with Slow Oscillation technology, the SP40 lays line smoothly whether you're fishing with mono or braid, giving you confidence on every cast.

Lightweight Yet Durable Construction

The graphite body and rotor keep the reel light at just 278 g, while the machined aluminum spool adds strength without excess weight. The Everlast™ bail system enhances durability, and the 4-bearing system (3 ball bearings + 1 roller bearing) ensures smooth retrieves. Instant Anti-Reverse and front drag with 6.4 kg maximum stopping power provide solid fish-fighting capability.
