I have used garcia reels for 40 years, i have been very pleased with them. The pro max is the best reel i have ever owned.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So I have had the chance t try out a few baitcasting reels in my time but I love this new reel. The look and feel is great and this reel is so light! Come tourney time my arms wont be so wore out afterwards. I love the bearings on this also sometimes its tough to push a light worm rig but not with this!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just bought a Promax today and I hope it is as good as it looks. I own a Black Max, a Silver Max, a Revo Premier and have owned numerous Abu Garicia reels in the past. I love them, then work very well and last forever. I also purchased today my third Abu Garcia Conolon rod, all three are 7 foot casting med/heavy rods. Love them for bass fishing.

I've owned an Ambassadeur 5500 C3 since 94 and it's still ticking so going with another Abu for my next reel was easy. I'm really impressed with the smoothness of the drag as well as the brake adjustment.
