Love this reel as it is my first bait casting reel! You have to get used to the bait casting feel but after you do, you will never go back!
I would recommend this to a friend!

i had a black max forever that i loved but it broke and the warenty was out so i got one from tackle wearhouse... its 2 mounths later and already broken. i got it and it was making a clicking sound and i was worreid and was gona have someone look at it soon, but last time i was out fishing it completly locked up and wouldnt let me reel so i took it apart and fixed it but then the button broke. moral of the story, great reel but dont by a reel from tackle wearhouse.
I purchased 2 of these reels this spring for Kayak fishing. Both reels have worked great. Casting a texas rigged worm with no weight or an 1/8 oz jig is no problem
I would recommend this to a friend!

My BlackMax bringing in the largemouth with temporary 8lb "panfish" line
I have been using the older style BlackMax for well over a year and it has provided hours and hours of trouble free performance. I fish exclusivity large mouth, and it's usually out of lilly pads so when my line gets caught my BlackMax gets put to the test. With 50lbs power pro the lilly pads always loses. I gave the BlackMax a "good" on casting performance because the brake needs small adjustments from time to time to keep the casts perfect. I am 100% satisfied considering the price point of this reel. Upon my return from Afghanistan I will upgrade to a Revo and the BlackMax will stay on a backup rod. Abu Garcia for life !
