Following the big success that the Maxel reels had in the market during the last season, here is the new model, designed for trolling with braided lines.The team of Maxel engineers worked hard to give to the anglers the opportunity to use an hyper technological reel, specifically for the braided users. It is the right model to fish with the downrigger and with the drift lead. To do so we increased the capacity of the spool, granting always the possibility to spool enough meters of the big diameter braided required. It is evident that for other specifications we did not change the good specs that made the Sea Wolf and the Sea Lion two between the best multipliers to be used on a boat. So also the new Maxel OB features a machined 6061-T6 aluminium. This one piece frame is the best warranty you can have about the solidity and the reliability of the reel. All the gears are made of stainless steel, the only material that can last for countless years in an aggressive and salty environment. The spool and the side covers are made of cold forged aluminium, to keep them light weight but still very strong. The lever drag and the handle have ergonomic shape and are easy to access, because when you are fighting a big fish everything must be just handy. If you summarize what a Maxel OB is giving you: light weight, ergonomic design, 100% salt water proof, stainless steel and carbon drag washers, 8 double shielded stainless steel bearings and many more, you will understand why we are giving 5 years warranty. Because a Maxel reel is made for fishing and it will do for a long long time.
