totally impressed with the entire Max lineup! great ergos, smooth, strong, and the right actions. Only thing I can't figure is why they put the flipping switch on the 6.1 Silver Max instead of the 7.1 Pro Max, would make more sense if your using them for the intended applications by gear ratio... oh well, love em' anyway. #now if they'd just make one in a 5.1 ratio for crankin'#
I've stayed away from baitcasters for the past 15 years, due to a bad experience and I've used spinning reels ever since. I figured it was about time that I gave baitcasters another shot. I did my research to make sure I was getting the best combo for my money. I went back and forth between two different combo sets and finally decided on the Silver Max combo. The gear ratio, balance, and smoothness won me over. I plan on adding more Abu Garcia products to my fishing arsenal.
