The XL MAX is the most capable reel in the X Series. Matched to an 8- or 9-weight rod, it covers the largest freshwater species and extends into light saltwater fishing—redfish, bonefish, and smaller tarpon—without requiring a step up in reel family. If you fish big water, heavy lines, or want one reel that handles both environments, this is where the X Series finishes. Machined in Miami. Built to last.
