Caught 17 this trip 1st time using the ProMax
This is a great reel for the money. I have all of the Max series reels on different poles & the Pro Max is my favorite by far. I use it on a 7' medium casting rod with 30lb braid & I can use a vast variety of different baits. It will cast anything from a floating worm to a big buzz bait. And the 7.1:1 reel ratio lets you work top water baits fast or slow. Very smooth reel & will get another for a different rod set-up. You can't go wrong with this reel in my opinion.
This is only my second bait cast reel but so far i love it. Its so easy to switch from different weighted lures andf not get any back lash. The braking system makes everything so easy. As i found out the other day, it even handles big muskey with ease. Pluse the price you cant beat! I wish more reels were this affordable for the average joe like me.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just purchased my first ProMax this season and mounted it on a Vendetta 7'6" Medium action rod. Great combination as I knew it would be. I own 2 Black Max combos , 3 Silver Max combos and a 276i spincast and all have seen years of faithful service as I expect the new ProMax will also. The ProMax performed flawlessly as all my other Abu products have. I fish Abu exclusively , sport decals on my tackle boxes and the rear window of my truck. This reel was just one more testament as to why I fish Abu Garcia only and will continue to do so. Great product, great price, and lived up to the quality I came to expect from their products.
