ABU GARCIA

ABU GARCIA MAX5 SX LOW PROFILE MAX5SXLP BAITCAST REEL -RH

Abu Garcia MAX5 SX LP – High‑Value Baitcasting Reel Built for Performance


Elevate your casting game without draining your budget. The MAX5 SX LP pairs the trusted pedigree of the Abu Garcia brand with high‑end features — including a 6.8:1 gear ratio, 7+1 bearing system and MagTrax™ magnetic braking — all wrapped into a lightweight low profile frame. Designed for anglers who want solid performance in a versatile reel they can rely on.


Specifications

• Model: MAX5 SX LP (also available as MAX5 SX LP‑L for left‑hand retrieve)

• Gear Ratio: 6.8 : 1

• Bearing System: 7+1 ball bearings

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

• Body & Side Plates: Graphite asymmetric A‑Sym design for compact profile and reduced weight

• Gearing: Duragear™ brass gear for durability

• Braking: MagTrax™ magnetic brake system for dependable casting control

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

• Retrieve Options: Right‑hand (standard) and left‑hand versions available (MAX5 SX LP‑L)


Who It’s Best For & How to Use It

The MAX5 SX LP is ideal for anglers who:

• Want a performance‑oriented baitcasting reel at a value‑driven price point.

• Target bass or freshwater sport fish using versatile techniques like crankbaits, swimbaits, soft plastics, or even flipping/pitching in moderate cover.

• Prefer a low profile reel design that balances comfort, castability, and ergonomics.

 

How to Use It

• Pair this reel with a medium‑heavy to heavy spinning rod (for baitcasting) or a dedicated casting rod in the 7′ region, depending on your target techniques.

• Adjust the MagTrax™ brake to dial in spool speed for your lure weight — ideal when switching between lighter plastics and heavier baits.

• Use the 6.8 : 1 gear ratio for balanced retrieves — not ultra‑fast, but fast enough for most standard applications while delivering solid torque when driving baits into cover.

• With the 15 lb drag and durable Duragear™ brass gear, you have confidence to pull fish out of moderate structure and control hard runs without sacrificing smoothness.

• Keep maintenance simple: rinse after use in environments with grit or salt, apply reel oil to bearings and keep the drag clean for year‑round reliability.


In short: The Abu Garcia MAX5 SX LP is a smart choice for anglers who want to step up from entry‑level reels without overspending. It offers many of the technological features of higher‑end models — asymmetrical body, premium gearing and braking system — while remaining affordable and practical. Add it to your tackle box and it’s ready to perform shot after shot.
