Quick take
A 1.98m baitcasting combo with a 24T graphite rod, designed for allround lure fishing from 10 to 40 grams.
This Abu Garcia Max X combo pairs a 6.5 ft two-piece carbon rod with a 6.4:1 baitcasting reel, a setup aimed at anglers stepping up to a baitcaster. The rod handles lures from roughly 10 to 40 grams with a moderate-fast action, so it suits all-round lure fishing. The two-piece blank folds down for travel, and EVA grips and a camo finish round it out.
