Very smooth , comfortable, lightweight. Gets a little rough after taking it apart. I use it with 20 lb powerpro super slick and a 6.5 ft abu garcia ambassadeur s rod.
Handle saltwater better than some saltwater reels. No rust at all after using it twice a week or more in saltwater.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I'm 13 and I've had this reel for about a year and I have dropped in mud and water countless times and it still feels new! I really like this and it's probably the best bait caster for me and for everyone

I have two black maxs and a pro max. The black maxs are nice and smooth but the line pick up is really nice on the pro max for a little extra money and it has a few more bearings. The colors on the black max are cooler in my opinion than the pro and the silver. Overall good product. Just don't cast musky lures with it may burn up a few bearings.
