Anyone tried these new Abu Garcia Reels

[booneangler]

Just wondering anyone has tried the new Abu Garcia Black Max or Silver Max. Are they any good or not worth the money.

I have heard nothing but good comments on the Max Series. Several folks on here have bought and like them. I don't own any. All of mine are the "big bro's" (revo STX). Here is a thread for ya.

I have several Revos and just recently got a Promax and love it.  That thing is great so far, time will tell if it holds up to the Abu name (which takes about five years of use to be a real Abu)

There have been several posts about these reels, mostly with good reviews. Just do a simple search and you should be able to get all the information you are asking for.

I have a Black Max, Silver Max, and Pro Max, and like all three. They are great reels for the money. I have had Revos and liked them, but they were a little small. Looking at the Revo and Max side by side, I can't tell much difference. But in my hands the Max reels are larger, which is more comfortable to me.

The Black Max is a great reel, but I would save up a few more pennies and get the Pro Max.

I noticed a feature called a twitching bar. what is it for?  

I went to dick's and looked at the abu combo's and they seem nice.

I really need a baitcast reel and a new spinning rod.

Side note is a cardinal 104 worth getting fixed?

Must have overlooked this one recently. Anyhow, off-topic and referenced posts have been deleted. Muddy's was left up just because it strikes me as funny!

Let's stay on-topic, please.

As I have mentioned before I love both of my Abu Garcia reels and this new for 2008 Max series is really great! I just ordered an extra spool for my Silver Max this morning so I can just switch spools when I want to go from #17 test to #12 test.

Customer service at this company is absolutely terrific. Polite people who will bend over backward to help the customers with any problems you may have, Mike

I own the black max left hand, ran over it with my trailer tire and still fishes well. For about 50 bucks, you can't beat this reel.

Thats a great Testamit to these reels. I had my Silver Max apart and it's well built on the inside too. Really a nice looking and smooth operating reel.
