Abu GarciaMax X Spinning Fishing Reel

I've had one of their older models for years until it suddenly disappeared - I suspect due to my nieces borrowing it from its place at my parent's house (they have a nice dock, so I leave it there) and losing it somewhere when I was not around. I don't usually "lose" things, but kids do not always confess, so I am not entirely sure who took it.... Nonetheless, I needed a new reel.... So, I bought a replacement and a new rod to go with it. The rig cost more than twice what my original one did, but it has been about 30 years.... Though, it still worked fine, so I am not happy about this turn of events...However, I have now been fishing with this new rig for over a month and it works great! Excellent reel so far. We'll see if I'm still around in 30 years to do a longevity comparison.... Who knows? But, I've caught 3 nice trout and a bunch of bait fish with it already. I got the 40 and put 12 lb Stren line on it. Using Rapala lures. I've always had good luck with Rapalas, though they cost more than some others, they seem worth it because the fish seem to like them better for some reason. The reel casts nicely, the drag works well. The bail snaps pretty forcefully, so you do not want your hand in the way of it when it comes across... The only problem is getting the line used ot the reel so it doesn't want to tangle up, but that is not the fault of the reel. Just needs to be used carefully until the line gets used to being on the thing. Other than that, it seems to be just as good as the one I had before, but made of lighter materials. I think my other was made in Sweden. This one is Chinese... So, we will see... So far, so good.

Nice real for the money but it was the wrong color. It's supposed to been red and it was white but it's all good

This a very smooth reel. I paired it with a 9-foot Ugly Stick GX2, and it casted about 50 to 70 yards. It was my go to rig for a week-long surf fishing rig. It performed very well. I rinsed it with fresh water after each trip to the beach. After three days, the top bearing did start to rust. It was easy to take out, clean, and relube. After that, it worked as new again.

Nice reel but can’t use because it doesn’t come with line; my oversight; next time will read carefully

Works mint

Arrived broken, tried to fix, not impressed what so ever.

It was alright not what I expected quality not good

Great little reel that is smooth and has high-end feel. Paired with a 6' 6" Ugly Stick and it's a decent rig for bass, trout or even a reasonable salmon. Great value for money, but I'd rather go a bit bigger.

Sehr gut Qualität
