Quick take
A compact spinning reel with asymmetric design, V-Rotor, and V-Spool for lightweight performance and smooth operation.
This is the size 2000 Max SX, a compact spinning reel with an asymmetric carbon frame and rotor. It runs a 5.2:1 gear ratio, picks up about 25 inches of line per crank turn and has a 6.5 lb max drag. The braid-ready aluminum spool lets you tie braid straight on, which suits light-line finesse fishing for panfish, trout and bass.
