This was my first purchase of brand new rod and reel. My BlackMax on a 7' Vengeance medium action rod has exceded my expections. Reasonable price for matched set and performs good. Considering buying another set like this one. The hooded sweatshirt offer is a good deal...they are good quality hooded sweatshirts

I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a really nice combo for under a $100. I have used it a ton and love. I have never had a problem with it. I really love this rod but wanted to get a more expensive rod and reel. I got the shimano chronarch on a crucial spinnerbaitt rod. These are my go to rods.

so i bought this pole on 2/10/13 had alot of problems with back lash on small bait but after alot of messing with the reel i got it to cast decent. with bigger lures it did cast pretty far after re adjusting everything on the reel again. here is the bad part i was fishing yesterday and and went to set the hook and about 10 inches of the rod snapped in half i was like WHAT!!!!!!!!! man i have some cheap pole that i bought for 10 dollars that have never ever just snapped like this did but the great thing is there customer service they were very fast at responding and just waiting to see what happens next i hope to get an upgrade i dont care to pay a little more but i def dont want this happening if i catch a big one anyways i hope this helps when ur looking to buy the black max 2

rods dont just break

Posted March 7, 2013

You had to have stepped on it, put your knee on it, pinched it or something. Rods don't break on a hook set unless you have damaged it.
I have been tournament fishing for over 30 yrs and have never broken a rod on the hookset.
You will learn this as you get more experience
