To complete the Maxxis range we’ve introduced the Maxxis PG 8000, featuring X-Tra Tough alloy body and designed to heavy duty specialities, such as the deep vertical jigging or the heavy spinning. All the seven Long Life SS ball bearings are sealed and give total reliability and smoothness to this high level reel, whilst the Roller Bearing run the one-way clutch, but here you’ll not find the anti-reverse lever as in most of the proper saltwater reels. To protect the gears, the body is fully sealed to prevent any water come in and it’s completely built with aluminium alloy as well as the rotor, the side plates and the bail arm assembly.Digital designed stainless and bronze alloy gears. The max drag power is 20Kg and again it is completely sealed from water, salt and any other debris, thanks to the oring positioned on the knob and through a closure disk to protect the washers. The drag works on stainless steel and carbon textile drag washers, with a fine adjustment from full release to full lock with super smooth motion all the way. The body is thin and flattened, while the rotor features an hybrid skirt made of carbon cloths, with the CNC machine cut aluminium handle fitted with an “custom” made oversized handle knob. The 4.4:1 gear ratio, is perfect for the deep vertical jigging, heavy duty spinning or popping to target the big saltwater predators. Everything is built to handle the heaviest of braided lines and control large, strong-pulling predators.
