Maxel seems to have thought of everything. The arms of the "star" on the star wheel are ergonomically angled slightly inward toward the center of the reel so fingers can’t mistakenly alter the drag setting while cranking the handle. The star drag wheel has clicking detents so once the drag is set it won’t slip. The drag is buttery smooth, and there’s plenty of it – 28 pounds! This awesome power can stop fast-running school tuna, turn a powerful striped bass away from a jetty or win the argument when hauling a blackfish away from a wreck. When short stroking fish from deep water, the ratio is just perfect for gaining line and keeping it tight on every down stroke of the rod. It’s plenty fast for bluefish jigging at a quick pace, or with slowed down handle cranks it’s great for slow-pitch jigging. The Hybrid’s 5:1 gear ratio really hits the sweet spot.

When bass or blues hit the jig on the drop down in free spool, you come tight to the fish in a nano second soon as you crank the handle. Re-engaging back into gear is instantaneous with a forward crank of the reel handle, which is great for jigging. While palming the reel in my left hand, I could quickly depress the thumb bar with my right thumb with no fumbling at all. I fished a Hybrid 25 for bottom fishing and also for jigging, and really liked the thumb bar spool release feature. The overall handle length is perfect for rapid line retrieval without being awkward. The round handle knob has a non-slip surface, and a small but very fisherman-friendly feature is the machined hourglass shape of the handle knob shaft that helps the angler’s fingers get the best grip on the knob.
At only 13 ounces, it balances nicely with rods from 6 to 7-1/2 feet."Īdding to the comfort and superior design is an S-shape handle that keeps the handle knob closer to the center of the reel to minimize reel wobble while the angler is cranking fast for speed jigging. "You can buy one reel and use it for just about everything," said Jerry Gomber, Director of Development for Bimini Bay Outfitters, the Maxel distributor, "and the round shape and recessed reel foot positions the Hybrid low on the rod so it’s very comfortable to fish whether bottom fishing or jigging. The Hybrids are true multi task reels equally at home drifting for fluke, live lining for stripers, chumming or jigging bluefish, bottom fishing for sea bass and tog, and light trolling for dolphin and albies. The Elemento has not only turned out to be an elegant rod, but also a powerful tool, strong enough to defeat the monsters from the deep.They’re called Hybrid because they combine the engineering, machining and impeccable high standards of the company’s Ocean Max lever drag reels, but in a star-drag configuration. The blank is lightweight and Maxel has greatly reduced the pressure on the angler’s arm during big game fighting. The multi tapper designed rod also works well with High Pitch action to seduce the fish bite, when they are not so active. This unique blank design produces Medium Fast action, is easy to handle and ideal for a sensitive Slow Jigging technique, regardless the water conditions. Maxel designed a rod development technique, called 3/7 Design, that combines layers of 30T and 36T carbon fibers. The blank is made of carbon fibers of the Japanese brand Torey and equipped with Fuji guides and reel seat. The Maxel Elemento Slow Jigging Rod is a lightweight and robust marine fishing tool, made of the finest materials. Maxel named these rods Elemento as they have been created from a synthesis of mixed elements coming from various fields of science and complex carbon materials with advanced rod building engineering. They combine the latest technology in blank materials and components with a streamlined classic look. Maxel excelled in the production of the Elemento Slow Jigging rod series, reaching unprecedented levels of Quality to Price ratio.
