Quick take
A compact size 2500 spinning reel with asymmetric design and carbon matrix drag, built for smooth freshwater performance.
The Abu Garcia Max Pro in size 2500 is a compact spinning reel with an asymmetric carbon body and a 6.2:1 gear ratio. It runs on eight stainless steel bearings and a carbon matrix drag topping out at 14 pounds. A braid-ready aluminum spool lets you tie braid straight on, which suits light to finesse freshwater spinning setups.
