Take Max: Big Game Basket
When the conditions get tough and the casts get long, the Take Max takes command. Designed for maximum capacity and rock-solid performance in the harshest environments, the Max is a high-volume "wind fortress" and the evolution of our signature GO flexible design. While almost every other basket on the market uses a basic cylindrical or rectangular design, the Take Max is the only basket featuring a true spherical shape. Unlike standard boxy baskets, Max’s curved profile, elevated front wall, and extended spikes eliminate wind impact and line fallout. Whether you are stripping heavy sink tips for pike or stacking massive amounts of running line for long-distance sea trout or tarpon sessions, the Take Max keeps your line organized even in heavy surf. Extra volume means more line, which for skillful casters means longer casts.
Despite its larger profile and deeper capacity, the Take Max stays true to our core philosophy.
Specs
• Flexible: Offers the same comfort as your favorite pair of jeans. A rigid basket is a hurdle you have to carry; a flexible basket is a tool you wear. Once you try it, you will never go back to a rigid basket.
• Optimised for Windy conditions: Our unique spherical shape keeps the line tucked inside, even in the strongest winds. If you can still cast in it, the Take Max won't let you down.
• Improved Casting Angle: The Max sits more horizontally, further protecting your line from wind blowouts.
• Longer Spikes: Our signature layout with increased average spike length manages any pile of running line, virtually eliminating tangles.
• Versatile Fit: Wear it high on the chest for deep wading or low on the hip for shore fishing with the same effortless ease as the Go basket.
• Extreme Durability: Like the Go, the Max is nearly indestructible. It is built to withstand harsh environments, accidental falls, being stepped on, or even being run over by a car.
• Lightweight: While 20% heavier than the Go basket, it is still significantly lighter than rigid plastic baskets, making its weight almost unnoticeable while fishing.
• Floating: Natural buoyancy means it stays on the surface and won't let you down by vanishing into the deep.
• Elastic Belt: Adjust the basket position instantly without the need to constantly re-size the belt.
The Take Max is the professional choice for big game fly fishermen when long casts are required in the harshest of environments.
Take as much line as the fishing requires, without fearing the wind — Take Max.
