And, in my experience, the ABU Garcia Pro Max Low Profile Baitcaster will help the average angler on a limited budget catch plenty of fish.Īll with comfort, joy, and a minimum of fuss. On the contrary, most credible reports I read give an accurate and positive appraisal of a deserving reel.Ĭorporate marketing is reasonably on-point. That’s not to say the Pro Max is all hype or doesn’t deserve the exposure. This type of focus snowballs exposure, hence getting a reputation as the hottest thing in fishing since barbed hooks. This leads plenty of Amazon driven, traffic steering,web profiteers, to push it and promote it. And why not…it’s a pretty handy baitcaster. In other words, it’s constantly talked about and it’s always talked about in a positive light. There’s a little twist to the story, however, that, in my opinion, has fuelled its popularity. And that, in a nutshell, explains its popularity. It is also very capable, user-friendly, and cosmetically blessed. The Pro Max is a fine, honest reel with an honest and accessible price tag. In fairness, however, nor is it priced as such. It’s certainly no REVO, Tatula, or Curado. Having used one, and having researched them a little, I’m no longer surprised. I used to be surprised at how often I was requested to write a Abu Garcia Pro Max Review.

Don’t get me wrong, I still have a way to go, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I actually got enjoyment out of casting this reel and getting the most of my desired distance and accuracy. As much as I dreaded learning to use a baitcaster, or at least a higher end one, this reel really put me at ease.
#Abu garcia revo s baitcast reel review series
They are known for great rods and reels and the ALX series only proves it. Overall, I could go on and on about this new reel from Abu Garcia. Recessed reel foot allows for a more ergonomic reel design.Ti coated line guide reduces friction and improves durability.Aircraft grade aluminum main gear provides weight reduction without sacrificing durability.Flat EVA knobs provide greater comfort and durability.
Compact bent handle and star provides a more ergonomic design.MagTrax brake system gives consistent brake pressure throughout the cast.Infini II spool design for extended castability and extreme loads.Carbon Matrix drag system provides smooth, consistent drag pressure across the entire drag range.Part of this is contributed by the low profile of the reel which is one of the many features of this reel. The lube port allows for quick and easy lubrication of the reel and the ergonomic design of this reel is sweet, leaving no fatigue to the hands. An 8.0:1 has a retrieve of 32 inches per one revolution of the reel. The ratio on this reel was 6.1:1, meaning I was getting around 2 feet of retrieval per one revolution of the reel. This is very important because I don’t have the patience to sit and micro manage a reel, but the reel allows for anglers to micromanage. I did so with very little bird nesting at first and within no time I was casting with no issues. Overall, this material is more durable and lighter than regular aluminum and very corrosion resistant.Įven though I am not an expert baitcast caster, it didn’t take me long to set up and begin throwing lures. The X-Cräftic alloy frame provides better corrosion resistance and handles more stress, runs better dry and at higher RPM, and if ever contaminated, will continue to run better than a standard bearing.
3 ounces less in weight, but over a day of casting may make a difference in your arm. That is not to say the CarbonLite wasn’t good it also casted well. The HPCR bearings are rust-resistant, shielded, stainless steel ball bearings. Both casted well, but the ALX with the HPCR bearing system casted much smoother and further. I used both reels enough to give the advantage to the ALX over the CarbonLite. Now keep in mind that more bearings mean further and smoother casts, but it doesn’t always mean better quality. Both the ALX and CarbonLite have a 9+1 bearing. It’s not a fair comparison because of the price difference, but I wanted to compare castability. I wondered if the cost was really worth it, so I compared it to the Johnny Morris CarbonLite baitcast reel, which is listed at $119.99. I recently had the enjoyment of trying out Abu Garcia’s new Revo ALX baitcaster reel.
