The Abu Garcia legacy continues with the addition of this MGX spinning reel. It features a lightweight and durable magnesium alloy one-piece gear box.

Features:

AM Gearing system provides precision machined gears for unparalleled smoothness and durability.
Computer optimized gear design allows for the most efficient gear system.
Carbon Matrix drag system provides smooth, consistent drag pressure across the entire drag range.
One piece X-Mag alloy one piece gear box provides a super light yet extremely strong gear housing.
C6 carbon body provides significant weight reduction without sacrificing strength and durability.
Rocket line management system provides better control of all types of fishing lines.
Rocket spool lip design allows better control of line coming off the spool.
K-Clutch anti reverse.
