Although louder, it also incorporates the same ‘Sound Plus+’ drag system as the Armory 15 so that anglers can hear the line as it is cast. To make it easier to take apart and assemble, Maxel has introduced a new pin system on the spool shaft, eliminating the need for attaching an ‘E’ type washer. “Anglers can feel the suction when moving the drag lever from higher to the Free position. This is particularly useful when using ultra-thin braided line during slow pitch jigging and allows for more control and less breakages.”Ĭheung added that the feel of the movement of the drag lever is greatly improved. In addition the One-Piece Drag Lever delivers more precise drag adjustment as the setting position is more accurate. “The new system is a breakthrough when it comes to issues surrounding spool lock when a lure gets snagged between rocks. This means the reel goes to zero drag without any drag force. When the drag lever is in the Free position, the drag plate disengages with the spool smoothly even after a lengthy fight. This upgrade enables the spool shaft to connect more effectively with the drag lever. ![]() On the new Armory models they are part of one complete unit. Cheung explained: “On all other Maxel models, the drag lever mechanism contains three separate parts that include the drag adjustment lever, drag tension knob and drag cam. The most innovative design on the new Armory reels is the patent-pending Maxel Integrated Lever Drag System, which is aimed at eliminating spool lock. On the new larger models we have retained the same outstanding features that have proved so popular on the Armory 15 as well as ensuring the strength and durability of the heavy-duty level wind system.”īoth models are designed for more line capacity and feature a high speed ratio of 6.2.1, 13 stainless steel bearings, +2 stainless steel one-way bearings paired with a lightweight aluminium oval-shaped handle knob for a comfortable and powerful grip. Due to its compact build, smooth gearing, drag performance and worry-free level wind function anglers were able to jig easily in any targeted water layer.

The company’s Frank Cheung, told Angling International: “In 2021 we launched the small size level wind Armory 15 and it received acclaim among anglers who enjoy slow and ultra-light jigging with thin PE lines.

There are also members on here with the reel. Among a host of other new features are the ‘clicking’ lever drag control, an improved power gear ratio for more cranking torque and faster line retrieve, a new alarm sound system and a new pin system on the spool shaft to further increase strength and make it much easier to disassemble the reel for repair and service.Chinese reel manufacturer Maxel, which now has distribution in over 40 countries across the world, is introducing two new models for 2022. 3 If you look the Maxel Facebook page, they outline the differences between the US and Asian version, fixing the star drag, thumb bar clutch, and more on the latter. Lighter and more compact than the R90, the R80 fits more easily in the hand. The Rage 80 is Maxel’s new-size model for heavy jigging and incorporates a number of upgrades prompted by years of sales feedback from the Japanese market. In addition, the Rage 20H has no alarm button on the frame. It also has a narrower, shallower spool and a single drag system compared to the R25’s dual drag system. While the most outstanding elements of the Rage 25 have been retained, there are a number of significant differences, the most obvious being the Rage 20H’s smaller size. The Rage 20H is designed for Japanese-style, slow pitch jigging with ultra-thin PE line and, like its predecessor, the R25, is compact and lightweight. ![]() However, they have different roles in the Rage range. They share stand-out features including precision-machined aluminium construction and Maxel’s made-in-the-USA carbon drag system, known for its smooth powerful performance under any setting. The Rage 20H ( right) and Rage 80 ( above), both part of the company’s high-end jigging Rage family, impressed visitors to the big Japanese show and have since been further improved after intensive testing and fine-tuning. ![]()
