Maxel Armory 35 Slow Pitch Reel
Power, Precision & Level Wind Control
The Maxel Armory 35 brings serious capability to the Armory lineup with a powerful, compact design built for slow pitch jigging and demanding offshore fishing. Combining a 6.2:1 gear ratio, 42 inches of line retrieve per crank, and 30 lbs of max drag, the Armory 35 delivers the speed and stopping power needed to work deep water and battle hard-fighting fish.
One of its standout features is the heavy-duty level wind system. Instead of manually guiding your line across the spool, the level wind maintains even line distribution during the retrieve, helping keep your braid properly packed and ready for the next drop.
Maxel Karman Integrated Lever Drag System
At the heart of the Armory 35 is Maxel's patent-pending Karman System, an integrated lever drag design engineered to improve drag control while helping address spool lock.
The Karman System creates a more effective connection between the spool shaft and drag lever. When the lever is moved into the Free position, the drag plate smoothly disengages from the spool, allowing the reel to return to free spool even after sustained pressure during a fight.
This can be especially valuable when jigging around reefs, wrecks, and rocky structure where a snagged jig may require the angler to quickly reduce drag pressure.
The system also provides more precise drag adjustment and smoother lever movement, giving anglers greater control when fishing the thin-diameter braided lines commonly used for slow pitch jigging.
