    Max pro is the best combo you can get with 110 bucks. I’ve had it for 2.5 years and still works like a charm.

    I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well th-cam.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.

    Huntsville Alabama has been rough so far this year fishing. It will be nice for a few days, and then a storm comes through bringing in the cold front. I typically get a few good days of fishing every two weeks. Randomly today winds up to 24mph.... Not wanting to cast in that lol. What an absolute tank you caught. Largest I caught so far this yr was a little under 5lbs

  • @ReelEmN

    This was my first baitcaster. Still use it from time to time. Its a good combo for the money and looks sick. Once you get into more expensive rods, this one seems much too stiff and heavy. But great for beginners with a low budget.

  • @blind_eye_fishing
    @blind_eye_fishing ปีที่แล้ว

    Larry you're like me you've used those 100$ rods so much the cheaper ones feel strange lol.
    Btw the reason you was getting those light bites before you caught the 7lber is because that was a bedding area. They was just picking it up and moving it. That big girl looked full of eggs and hadn't spawned yet. Our Alabama weather has been strange and threw off some of the spawn this year lol

  • @bjcox6695

    Awesome video, Larry! If I can make one request, when you're passing someone with a dog please let them know you're passing 💜🙏 I've almost had plenty of collisions from bikers coming screamin' hot past me & the boy without saying anything, and a simple, "passing on your (right or left)" helps keep everyone safe. 😊

    • @bjcox6695
      @bjcox6695 ปีที่แล้ว

      P.S. I appreciate you always keeping it honest with the reviews, and sharing your mix of feelings when you're not absolutely in love with something; knowing how much you love Abu Garcia (and how I'm sure would be over the moon about a sponsorship), your honesty speaks volumes to your character. 💪
