YJsmitty Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Just wondering if any one has used the Promax and what they think of it. Its $30 less than the Revo S just how it compare. Also does anyone know what it weighs I couldn't find it anywhere. Thanks Quote

Styx Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Own it, love it, buying abother. Tin, is the frame graphite or metal/aluminum? Quote
Super User Tin Posted January 15, 2008 Super User Posted January 15, 2008 Not 100% sure, I want to say aluminum though. Quote
slomoe Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Also does anyone know what it weighs I couldn't find it anywhere. 7.9 per tackle warehouse Quote
Styx Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I emailed Abu Garcia 15 mins ago asking what the frame was made of and I got a reply already "It's aluminum". That's the fastest reply I've ever received from a company. Quote
Ballpark Frank Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I don't know if things have changed but all of the Max reels I have looked at had "polymetric/graphite" frames. Quote
Styx Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 It's interesting their web site makes no mention of an aluminum frame which is a key selling point on most reels.......especially those under $100. Quote

YJsmitty Posted January 15, 2008 Author Posted January 15, 2008 I also emailed Abu Garcia about the frame and they first emailed me back and said aluminum then they emailed me back and apologized and said it was graphite. So the final answer is graphite. Unless I get another email saying something different. ;D Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted January 15, 2008 Super User Posted January 15, 2008 I like METAL baitcasters not saying the promax is not strong but at delos you can buy a revo s for 89 bucks if u enter the code 10 dollars more gets u a metal baitcaster U will sacrifice your MAG brakes though Quote

Super User Micro Posted January 16, 2008 Super User Posted January 16, 2008 Officially, they are "polymeric," which could mean a lot. Probably a poly/graphite combitnation. Quote
Super User Micro Posted January 16, 2008 Super User Posted January 16, 2008 U will sacrifice your MAG brakes though That's not necessarily a bad thing. The S's brake is apparently more effective than the magnetic brake on other Revos. Quote
