ABU GARCIA MAX SX LOW PROFILE MAX5SXLP-L BAITCAST REEL - LH

Abu Garcia MAX5SXLP‑L Low Profile Baitcast Reel


Description

Elevate your baitcasting performance with the MAX5SXLP‑L. This left‑hand retrieve, low‑profile reel combines a refined asymmetric body, premium gearing, and proven braking systems — engineered for anglers who want smooth, reliable casting and retrieval without overstretching their budget.


Specifications

• Model: MAX5SXLP‑L (Left‑hand retrieve)

• Gear Ratio: 6.8 : 1

• Max Drag: 15 lb (Power Disk® drag system)

• Bearing System: 7 + 1 ball bearings (8 total)

• Body/Side Plates: Graphite (lightweight A‑Sym asymmetric frame)

• Braking System: MagTrax™ magnetic cast‑control system

• Handle: 90 mm aluminum bent handle with co‑molded soft‑touch knobs

• Line Capacity (example for model): Mono: 12 lb / 130 yds; Braid: 30 lb / 125 yds

• Weight: Approx. 7.2 oz


Who It’s Best For

• Anglers seeking a dependable low‑profile baitcasting reel designed for left‑hand retrieve, ideal for right‑handed rod use.

• Those targeting freshwater species such as bass, walleye, or pike with techniques where a 6.8 : 1 gear ratio offers versatile speed and control.

• Weekend warriors or tournament anglers wanting solid performance — smooth gearing, competent drag, and modern features — without stepping into premium price tiers.

• Fishers who appreciate ergonomic comfort during long sessions: the lightweight asymmetric body and soft‑touch handle knobs provide all‑day comfort.


How to Use It

1. Rod pairing: Mount the reel on a medium to medium‑heavy baitcasting rod (~6′6″–7′4″) that matches your target species and technique.

2. Line setup: Spool with appropriate line for your fishing environment — for moderate cover and bass fishing, 12‑15 lb mono or 20‑30 lb braid are good fits given the reel’s drag capacity and line capacity specs.

3. Brake adjustment: Use the MagTrax™ external magnetic dial to fine‑tune spool speed based on your lure weight and wind conditions. Tighter for heavier lures or strong wind, looser for lighter baits and calm conditions.

4. Technique match: The 6.8 : 1 gearing gives a balanced retrieve speed — ideal for standard crankbaits, spinnerbaits, soft plastics, or trailer hooks — letting you adapt to multiple presentations.

5. Fight control: With a 15 lb max drag and smooth gearing, the reel is capable of controlling hard‑fighting fish in moderate structure or cover. Maintain consistent pressure, avoid overloading the reel, and leverage the ergonomic handle for effective hook sets and fight control.

6. Maintenance: After each outing — especially in abrasive or gritty conditions — rinse the reel lightly, wipe dry, and apply reel oil to the bearings and drag system. Keeping the MagTrax™ brake clean of grit will preserve casting performance.


Summary

The Abu Garcia MAX5SXLP‑L is a smart, feature‑rich baitcasting reel built to deliver smooth performance, ergonomic comfort, and dependable durability in a left‑hand retrieve format. It’s a well‑rounded choice for anglers who want quality and versatility without paying for high‑end flagship models.
