The Maxel Hybrid Star Drag Reel embodies the evolution of star drag reels. As fishing reels continue to become stronger and lighter, this reel surpasses expectations. Its aluminum construction and 13 oz weight are paired with a top-of-the-line carbon drag system delivering 28 Lbs of fish-stopping power. The most notable feature of the Maxel Hybrid is its thumb bar design, a rarity in such a powerful reel, and a favorite among anglers. With stainless steel gears, seven shielded stainless steel ball bearings, and an instant anti-reverse clutch bearing, this reel is both corrosion resistant and unyielding under pressure.
