Smarter Magnetic Cast Control

Built on the trusted Max SX platform, MiQ™ removes the guesswork from baitcasting with a mechanical magnetic cast-control system built right in.

Cast with Confidence

MiQ™ removes the intimidation from fishing with a baitcast reel, giving anglers more control and greater confidence without feeling limited.

Intelligent Cast Control

The MiQ™ system automatically adjusts the braking throughout the cast to help reduce backlashes while balancing casting distance and control.
