Anyone Use The Garcia Promaxx Much?

[xxjace]

Looking for a cheaper 7:1:1 and I've heard great things about the garcia pro maxx.Ive been curious about it honestly..I'm looking for someone who owns one for their opinions on it..it's like 79$ new and I hear its great for that price..big fan of garcia reels here.

If you look on the bay, you can find some around 50 dollars. I used my friends when we went snakehead fishing and it was pretty decent but if you are going to pay the full 80, you might as well pay 100 and get something that may last longer and is aluminum frame.

I'm a huge fan of the Max line. Own the Pro and 3 Silvers. I use mine for flipping, pitching, frogs, bigger jigs etc.

I have it paired up with a 7' mh rod and 20lb fluoro.

Be careful with eBay. You will find the old model pro. You need to make sure it's the Pro Max 2.

I have both the Pro Max and Silver, I love them both. I use the Pro Max for Buzzbaits, Jigs, Frogs. It's super smooth and the drag is amazing. It will also cast a mile ,and the free spool is rediculous.

I had the left hand model and I used it for swim jigs for a while.  It was pretty good, but if you can pay the extra 20 bucks, I would try the lews speed spool.  I had problems with the casting bar only going down half way so whenever I would try to cast, the line would not come out but that barely happened, just make sure to completely press down on it when you are casting.  its pretty smooth too

I have two and I love them. They are amazing reels at that price.

To each their own. I wouldn't look sideways at it just because it doesn't have an aluminum frame. At its price point you're only $20 away from reels that have aluminum frames. Right now, the BPS Pro Qualifier is on sale for $80. That's the same price and it also has an aluminum frame, not to mention better braking.

I have a promax combo. My first BC ever. Still cast and catches fish great. I would sell it for dirt cheap if you were local. Don't want to ship rods.
