From your voice I think you are pretty young, you did a great job. I didn’t know there was an upgrade for the BlackMax, mine is three years old and probably needs a refresh.

[@mrdrew9577]

I just did this on my ProMax... WOW! What a difference!

[@NorthsideChamps16]

My bet is you're going to get some monster casts out of that reel now. I've got a black max on the way from amazon, so when the need arises, I will refer back to this video to swap out my bearings.

[@BassSniperTV]

Those Boca Bearings are better than the ones that will come in that $100.00 reel. Nothing wrong with buying, and adding upgrade's later.

[@rubberdiscoduck]

Great video thanks for the tutorial it's really going to help

[@angleranilvmy4823]

10 years back😳

[@munirdelaluz610]

will this upgrade the casting distances..??if this really..can show me more details..??

[@foodconnoisseur8397]

Will you do a video for the black max spinning reel bearing upgrade as the 2000 real we get with the reel rod combo has 3+1 ball bearings and not so smooth.

[@trielsandi9101]

What the name of tool for remove that pin in the spul

[@TheCountrystuff13]

Will this upgrade really help casting

[@hasanudinambak6939]

Yeah

[@bittabrutha31]

Is it saltwater ready now because of ceramic bearings ?

[@dthao227]

might as well get the pro max or something right? but yeah....the black maxx 2 isn't that bad i guess

[@jamescruz312]

hay man I lost my brake spool and bearing for my abu Garcia bait caster like the one u got that u show where do I go get them order or replaced to my bait caster. hit me back.

[@rockchalk06]

Great video. One question. On the Silver Max and the Black max, when the spool tention knob is set property, there is seems like alot of pressure on the spool. Does the bearing replacment cut that out?

[@faithm.173]

Richard Gullotto the knob is doing its job. its adding tension to the spool against the breaks to avoid backlash. OR the bearings are dirty and need cleaning.

[@joshuaflores5992]

Nevermind the bm3 has a rod you have to move to open side

[@duzty122]

so whats the difference?

[@calvinoutdoors4846]

100% awesomeness!!!

[@bankfishermantv7801]

All I had to do was put lighter fluid on my bearings and spend the bearings couple of times and then put oil on them they cast the same as the bearings you have in yours

[@gorgezipermen5795]

is this the blackmax 2

[@Megaman715.]

This is the black max 2 right??? I have the first model black max I believe ....but the question is, they do also have to the beatings for the first model right? If not then does these bearing also fit too or no???

[@Marcus_918]

They all fit and use the same size

[@1408r]

same size bearing for black max 3?

[@hasanudinambak6939]

Same

[@Dellvincent94]

I got 2 of that reel.one i modified it drag with carbon and new bearing,de other original

[@colinmorgan7839]

delly vincent what?

[@atxbasstard8708]

U forgot to take the seals off the new bearings

[@avacotter2137]

That’s sick

[@dthao227]

wow, those bearings are freaking expensive..haha

[@Drsimp27]

i doubt this will help 7 years later but here www.spoolspeed.com/collections/abu-garcia/products/abu-black-max-silver-max-pro-max-blue-max

[@bradleyplayer4254]

SG Aqua this video and your link definitely helped me out.

[@Drsimp27]

Bradley Player No problem man

[@mrBDeye]

Bearing upgrade is useless because you'll need to adjust the tension knob and brakes anyway.

[@fyescas777]

Experienced anglers have them down all the way.

[@davidcarrillo6318]

How would that make it useless? Different weights would change the adjustments… the bearings would increase the spool speed, but that’s probably already too complicated for you.

[@mrBDeye]

@@davidcarrillo6318 Let me explain so a five year old can understand. There's no point upgrading the bearings so that the spool spins like a top for 5 minutes. When you put line on the reel and fish with it you'll need to adjust the tension knob and magnet brakes anyways. If you don't understand that then i can't say it any clearer.

[@davidcarrillo6318]

@@mrBDeye my 7 year old probably casts better than you do! 😂 have a nice day

[@mrBDeye]

@@davidcarrillo6318 Hey Dummy. I've been fishing for 30 yrs. I recently attended a BassProShop event and Kevin VanDam demonstrated how to set up and property set a baitcaster. He signed my StrikeKing cap. So don't tell me you are so good at casting that you or your son don't need to use the adjustments.
