Abu Garcia Max X Spinning Reel SP5 2.9kg 52cm 4

Abu Garcia Max X SP5 — Reliable All-Round Spinning Performance

The Abu Garcia Max X SP5 combines proven engineering with practical features at an accessible price point. Its Rocket Line Management System and machined aluminum spool deliver consistent casting and retrieval for anglers targeting everything from perch to pike.

Rocket Line Management for Versatile Line Types

The Rocket Line Management System, featuring Rocket Spool Lip Design, gives you better control whether you're fishing monofilament or braid. The Slow Oscillation system lays line evenly across the spool, reducing twist and improving casting distance. This SP5 handles 0.15 mm mono up to 140 m, making it suitable for light to medium applications.

Smooth Operation with Durable Construction

Four bearings (3 ball bearings plus 1 roller bearing) ensure fluid retrieval under load. The lightweight graphite body and rotor keep fatigue low during extended sessions, while the machined aluminum spool adds strength without excess weight. The Everlast bail system is built to withstand repeated use, and the 2.9 kg max drag handles spirited fights from medium-sized predators.
