Review: Good Baitcasting Combo - Works well. This was my first baitcaster. I had to figure out that the magnetic brake increases in the counterclockwise direction as shown on the side of the reel. At first I was turning the knob clockwise thinking I was increasing it and due to my poor eyesight it took me a while to figure out I was doing the opposite of what I wanted to. Once I figured that out it works great. I watched a couple of You Tubes on how to use and clean it which helped me a lot. It has been a good starter outfit for me and I have since ordered the Abu Garcia Pro Max model which I have not received yet.
Review: Abu Garcia Black Max Combo can kick better than Mad Max! - I received order in two days and intact. Great turnaround and an impressive job for the seller. The combo came in a box. As for the Black Max and fishing rod combo, it is an incredible buy. For most of us weekend warriors, experienced or rookies, this combo will do a great job. The reel is smooth, light, and performs beyond my expectations. I'm experienced surf fisherman and have used spinning reels all my life. In fact this is my first baitcasting reel ever, although I feared birdnesting so prevalent with baitcasters.I diid have concerns about birdnesting so I attended Youtube University for setup and tips, and indeed all input was beneficial. After I few adjumstments I learned on Youtube, I started practicing with 8lb mono, making numerous casts---no screwups, no birdnesting, nada! The reel and rod performed flawlessly. After 50 strongs casts or so, I switched to my left arm as my right arm was tired--OOPS--birdnest but entirely my fault as my thumb slipped of the reel! I threw the remaining 8 lb line in the garbage. I felt the line was too light so the following day I switched to 20 lb to see how this light reel/rod would handle a heavier line. Off to the pond I went. The reel and rod again performed great. With all adjustments in order I don't even have to place my thumb on the reel--I just cast and forget. Again I tired so again I tried my left arm--damn it, again my thumb slipped---birdnest again. I made up my mind to practice with my left arm until it's as strong as my right. Meanwhile, I find 20lb line too heavy so my next line will be either 15lb or 14lb. The instructions call for 12lb mono or 30lb braind. I don't use braid we'll see which line weight I finally wind up with. Again, this Abu Garcia is a gift from fishing heaven as it can be used by adults or kids, maybe 8yrs and up. Best of all, you don't break the bank with the Abu Garcia Black Max combo. But, practice, practice, practice is a must. Heck, yeah, I would buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great beginner bait caster, best in its price class
*by B***K on September 4, 2016*

Good all around beginner bait casting rod and reel combo. Not the best brake in the world and the gear ratio is lacking in feel, it's either loose or stiff no in between. However it is easy to get used to quickly and preforms well, there is a lot of dialing involved when switching bait die to different weights. Other higher end poles adjust easier on the fly, but the price can triple easily. To sum up a good rod to get your feet wet with bait casting for a low cost. Definitely the best in its price point
