The new more compact and ergonomic 2012 Silver Max places performance at your finger tips with a five bearing system with an additional instant anti-reverse bearing to ensure smooth retrieves. The upgraded design includes a light weight graphite frame and side plate in addition to the signature MagTrax brake system that provides precise cast control. Performance and toughness are hallmarks of the Max family and the flipping switch included on this reel provides a swift means for casting jigs and plastics with just a touch of the thumb.
