The Abu Garcia Black Max is a reel I have bought a few times over the last couple of years. It’s not a bad reel. The spool spins pretty freely but won’t overrun on you. The adjustment points work well by having a brake you can set on the side plate as well as a spool tension knob. Probably my favorite feature on the reel is actually the price. Abu Garcia Black Max Low-Profile Casting Reels offer the best in performance and value. These reels are built with a one-piece graphite frame and sideplates, plus a machined aluminum spool for strength and durability without excess weight.
Delivering maximum performance and maximum value, the Abu Garcia Black Max Casting Reel has what it takes to tackle a wide range of bass fishing applications. Its lightweight one-piece graphite frame and sideplates form a solid, ergonomic foundation that is easy to fish all day, and its five stainless steel bearing system (4+1) ensures super smooth performance.
Also equipped with Abu Garcia’s Duragear brass gear for excellent winding power, the Power Disk Drag system delivers smooth drag performance to tame hard fighting fish. The Black Max features the advance MagTrax brake system as well, which allows you to fine tune cast control to accommodate a variety of lures and fishing conditions. A great reel for anglers of any level, the Abu Garcia Black Max Casting Reel is an over-achiever when it comes to price point and performance.
