Yoooooooo, LARRY, that trick to get un-snagged was pure critical thinking, problem solving, and forward thinking at its finest! Appreciate you brothA! SALUTE.....✊🏾

[@ronwallace7563]

No BS, when you are fishing in some pretty clear water and that bass flashes on your lure when you get it close to you and you see it flash....that little jolt of adrenaline....that was it for me. That is why I started bass fishing. Also, my first baitcasting combo was also a black max. I even learned how to take it apart and clean it. Had that one for a LONG time. Lot's of memories catching lots of fish on that. And YES....my share of birds nests too! Most I could get out....but a couple I had to CUT the line completely off and then re-spool. Appreciate the trip down memory lane. Keep them coming!

[@FishinWithAiden]

Black max was my first bait caster combo and it’s a certified hood classic ❤❤❤❤

[@bjcox6695]

Awesome video, Larry! Always nice to see you giving out some tips for beginner anglers 💪🎣 My second baitcaster was a refurbished vintage black max that I gave to a buddy; I miss that reel, but I hope he's whackin' phatties with it! 💜

[@Vxid4535]

I just bought a black max yesterday for 61$ at walmart, it's my first baitcaster and I love it.

[@kylekinealy947]

Never seen or thought of sending my rod at a stuck lure! Nice trick!

[@brucenichols9206]

I always suggest the $3.00 Zebco mono 700 yards for 12 or 15# to people new to baitcasters it sure beats birds nesting expensive line during the learning curve

[@tynooska3955]

ngl i would but i don’t feel like respooling it once i learn

[@tvcarlosgamer2839]

I just oiled my baitcaster for the first time and I had it about 2 weeks, when I got done oiling it, it started acting wierd and tried casting right away after oiling it and it would backlash a lot more. I put the tension knob as tight as possible and It couldn’t hold a 1/4oz jig head with a creature bait in place. I turned the knob up all the way that press down the spool release and it would drop fast. Do you know why

[@B-Rad_P-Ark]

Black Max wasn't my first, but it was pretty early, and it's the combo I feel I can say I actually learned how to fish a baitcaster with. Still have 2 of them!

[@lloydbyrd9294]

That is a neat trick

[@midwestangler]

Great Video. I just bought the Black Max baitcaster and spinning combo Last week. You are always helping me out with a budget combos that are awesome. Thanks for sharing.

[@rancorrevolution2374]

I found a left hand retrieve black max reel for under $20 in Walmart, waiting on a rod in the mail right now to pair it with!

[@LarryMeltonJr]

A STEAL!

[@raygissendanner1476]

I was thinking I was the backlashing king but getting better and it does take sometime nice tips thank you

[@michaelbush7696]

I've been seeing a couple of the 6'6" medium combos with the verion of the reel with the red knobs. Bought one of course because I was there to buy the reel. But when you can get the combo for $10 more than the reel itself, why not. Would love to see a 7' medium heavy at Walmart at some point. Maybe the best budget reel out there IMO. Thanks and take care bud.

[@Pxralized89]

Black max was my second baitcaster combo

[@AlexanderClark-zv9ne]

The video speaks for itself. Best cat toy ever.

[@tannerwi]

I really like the Xfinity combo from Walmart. Not a big Lews fan, but like that combo. A little more expensive than the black max. Cashier at Walmart looked at me like I was dripping in money. Z

[@sammo8556]

BlackMax was my first one because of you .👊🏾

[@JAYS_HOUSE_OF_TAROT]

I haven’t been feeling too good big bro and I’m catching up on some vids !!!! It’s going down this year yes zuuurrr

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Hope all is well bro! Get to feeling better man!

[@JAYS_HOUSE_OF_TAROT]

@@LarryMeltonJr thanks big bro!!!

[@derrickbrown180]

Great video brother, enjoyed it!!

[@alr1285]

I have 2 black max reels and they are some tough reels, but i would like them a lot more if they had some more gear ratios

[@coty7228]

I wish they put these and more combos out for left hand people

[@LarryMeltonJr]

They can be hard to find. But they are out there

[@ImGrimFPS]

I just found your content and on the first video you git an instant sub out of me haha love it man keep it up 🤘

[@silvaart560]

My first and still in use.

[@jerrygutierrez9156]

Black Max is the way to go I got one tip broke kept the reel bought a second combo used The reel on an Abu Ike easycast rod and that thing is awesome Black Max awesome Abu awesome can't beat it not for 60 bucks

[@blind_eye_fishing]

Black max comes in two variations. Most you see is the 6'6" m but they have a 7' mh version I've seen. It's not the best starter though for a little more you can get the lews xfinity or the shimano ciaus combos.

[@blind_eye_fishing]

At the end you mentioned Talladega walmart lol that's one of my local stores I'm just over 20 miles from it lol.

[@charlesshaffer5782]

Great video man just wanted to tell you my real never backlashes but it does have professional overruns😅😂

[@edmoss2020]

Great job on this, thanks

[@BassEndOfThings]

1:29 he aint lying i spent 50 at walmart last week on lures n other baits n they're already all gone (share with people cause fishing with others makes the experience a lot better, but i always end up forgetting about my lure or they dont tie theirs right n breaks off mid cast or reeling in 😂)

[@SODA_20]

Bro drove 45 minutes for a combo and didn’t buy it 😂. No hate I probably would’ve done the same thing, keep up the awesome videos! 🎣

[@GlitterandGills]

Great video bro 💗🎣👍🏾

[@kennythao9558]

I used to go fishing everyday after school too even on days after football practice haha

[@jamieyork6340]

Hey I meet Larry the other day and he is so nice in person

[@raygissendanner1476]

Have you ever tryed the lew's xfinity 6'10" castings combo from Walmart I would like to a review from you

[@Evolveyours]

Content grind!!

[@lennyboy57]

Just subbed. Do you know why my black max didn’t come with the red handles? Just curious

[@PenskeCup]

Hey Larry!

[@Dirtdiggerjohn]

what type and weight line do you recomend for the begginer

[@selwynjunebugcooper9233]

It was my first but now I have a black max, bluemax, Silver max, and a vengeance 🤣

[@LarryMeltonJr]

That’s how it goes 😂 The blue max is awesome, but they are hard to find

[@selwynjunebugcooper9233]

@@LarryMeltonJr yes it is but I haven't used it in a while lol I'm collecting Lews combos now😭

[@rellomargielo2573]

How do you feel about the Max Ultra combo? I recently bought it

[@Big_Boi_Bassin]

Sorry but the Lews Xfinity for $88 at wal mart is the very best cheap rod and reel ever. Abu Garcia vengeance isn’t bad. Haven’t tried the black max tho.

[@jeremyblackwater439]

😂 not the thuggish ruggish Bone reference ☠️

[@Narrahd]

Is the Max pro better or worse?

[@jeremiahwilliams2171]

Noti gang!!

[@Demolitiondude]

The only time I had to max out breaks was on the evil twin. Backlashed three times.

[@devondadude420]

I just bought a vengance because of you Larry lol.

[@LarryMeltonJr]

I have a video coming about it next week!

[@devondadude420]

@@LarryMeltonJr most of my stuff was piscifun, but you made me want something abu garcia. There was one vengance left.

[@Jayden-uy7vq]

Let’s goo noti gang

[@ericgamble5742]

I bought a black Max but I bought it separately and spent like 125$

[@nelsonmartinez6277]

You really want that abu Garcia sponsorship lol have you used the abu Garcia vengeance combo? And is it any good

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Just uploaded a video about them!

[@ryanclarke8801]

Larry tf was the porn star in the beginning 😂 dog I thought I was trippin then I rewinded it lmao

[@mgmwinz7791]

They’re are eating crawfish which are reddish so that’s why they target red baits when there mouth is red

[@LarryMeltonJr]

Gotcha!

[@bradh9186]

I have the exact same bait caster combo and you will not find a better bait caster for the price

[@clarissadiaz21]

I heard red lips mean there eating off the bottom just what I was told

Their teeth is based off of what they eat is what I learned
