Aircraft grade aluminum construction incorporating Maxel rigid machine technology . All Maxel reels feature a strong, rigid , one-piece fully machined aluminum frame. These monolithic bar-stock frames not only keep the moving parts in precise alignment, but also maintain exacting control tolerances under heavy loading while fighting big fish.

With Maxel latest cold forging technology, the super strong, cold forged aluminum spool and side plates stand up to line pressure and hard fighting stresses.

Each Maxel reel is constructed around a high modulus, heat-treated, heavy duty stainless steel gear set for superior strength, smoothness and long life.

Maxel unique Carbon Drag system delivers wide range and smooth operation at all settings. The contaminant resistant carbon surfaces are treated with a precise amount of specially formulated MAXEL drag grease that resists water absorption and maintains powerful drag settings. Constant, steady friction and excellent heat displacement are assured through the drag surface design.

The Karman System enables the spool shaft to connect more effectively with the drag lever. When the drag lever is in the Free position, the drag plate disengages with the spool smoothly even after a lengthy fight. This means the reel goes to zero drag without any drag force , it’s a breakthrough when it comes to issues surrounding spool lock when a lure gets snagged between rocks.

The unique One-Piece Drag Lever re-designed with Advanced Preset Controller , an anti-backlash system with clicking sound .The Karman System delivers more precise drag adjustment as the setting position is more accurate.

The Maxel Armory series boast a SYNCHRONIZED LEVEL WIND mechanism. This means that the feed of the line both onto and off of the reel spool is always in precise alignment with the movement of the level wind guide. Smoother line flow is assured on casting, jig dropping and, more critically, when line is taken from the spool under the super smooth reel drag.

Maxel use top quality shielded stainless steel ball bearings assure corrosion resistance and smooth operation on line release and recovery.

The refined Carbon Dual Drag System , featuring the gradual drag cam with one more “M” lever position before “STRIKE” , delivers more precise lever drag adjustment as the power goes up gradually and smoothly . This helps to reduce the line breakages and losing fish on the hook.

The M+ Gear Ratio has been redesigned for maximum line retrieve per crank which is more suitable for fishing with heavy jigs .That’s Maxel M-Power Torsion Mechanics as it further improves the cranking torque. And the Moderate Ratio Gear Special Adjustment maximizes the line retrieve per crank.

Maxel Magnetic Cast Assist is designed to reduce backlash and improve casting distance by utilizing the magnetic filed. The magnetic piece exerts an opposing force and assist with accurate adjustments. This feature available on Maxel light jigging reel models.

Dual anodized aluminum finish is to get two different colors on one piece through a complicated process of machining and polishing. Every aluminum part is first thoroughly cleaned and polished before anodizing , every small details has to be controlled ensure the best and most consistent finish . The State-of-the-art anodizing is the most durable surface finish to protect against corrosion and resist scratching.
