Stop Wasting Money on Expensive Fishing Reels | Abu Garcia Black Max Review

[@nolanwilliams2622]

Finally someone that gives real, practical, unbiased information and reviews. So many other channels promote super expensive equipment that is really over rated in my opinion. You should have over 100k subscribers. Keep it coming!

[@danielhornbuckle5870]

I know so many expensive reels

[@Kinstn]

I agree that the blackmax is really good and that this is unbiased, but people also are subjective to their own opinion so if they think that an expensive real is better than that is their opinion.

[@andrescruz9448]

Well what's expensive to you for a reel? $250+ $500+? While every price bracket has something for everyone, just because you can't afford it doesn't mean it's "over-rated" or "impractical". Overpaying for something can be just as foolish as underpaying. I've fished reels that I enjoyed and that were amazing (for the price) but my expectations were also realistic (again, for the price). The more I pay the more I expect out of anything. I think this is an example of a $40 reel exceeding expectations and being a pleasant surprise but it's a bit of a stretch to say it's better than a $300 dollar reel.(also doesn't make sense to compare things so far apart in price). Being a budget snob is worse than being a rich snob...

[@workingman9745]

@@andrescruz9448 you're just a plain SNOB.

[@bluewolf5582]

I've had several of them, they are excellent reels for the price.

[@glennluteraan4434]

Thanks for the honest review. Just made me feel even better about the deals I got. Grand opening sale at Academy - new in pack black max for $20 and a demo model black max and silver max for only $10 (on display for less than a week). They even spooled them with line - for free!

[@SportsTrivHQ]

Yes! Love the black max! Little tip I found out is order you some spool hi-speed bearings to put in your black max and it’s a flawless reel. Bearings only $15. Performs like a $200 reel easily

[@JoeyB7615]

The fishing industry is going to have a bone to pick with you giving out info like this.. I totally agree

[@NoBody-ij9dj]

My first baitcaster was a black max, it's what I learned on. I found them to be good for 2 seasons, however I never took care of them. That was quite a few years ago and quality could have changed. I recently purchased 2 more just to use for trolling specific rigs on my kayak and they've worked just fine. I really prefer the Revo SX but now at almost 4 times the cost it doesn't make sense. Even if 1 or 2 max's fail you've still got 2 more at around the same cost. I agree with you, they really are a great budget reel.

[@ZachRussell.W]

I love mine , I’ve had it for 2 years and it still works so well, it’s on my most used combo with a savage gear rod and it feels amazing! I give the bearings regular oil and the gears well greased and it casts a LONG way and can Handel fairly light baits very well!

[@timisoutdoors]

Dude. I was on the fence...Thanks for your honesty and time! *SUBSCRIBED!*

[@Joestacemazjojo]

I’m glad when I looked up this reel you showed up with a review! I trust your channel and your feedback. Appreciate it.

[@chaddrumm6809]

I agree with your thoughts! I’ve used Black Max reels a lot! Great bang for the buck! Along those lines I’ve stumbled on another great reel which is a Piscifun Torrent. Same price point s the Black Max, but I like the Torrent for the power handle that it comes with. Also the Torrent is smooth, casts well, and has a 7 to 1 gear ratio availability. Bottom line is you don’t have to spend a fortune on your equipment.

[@willshaneswearingen]

The problem with torrent reals is they just don't last, lovem have 6 and they are all starting to have the same problem... screeching on cast and a rub grind noise when retrieving.

[@workingman9745]

@@willshaneswearingen they may just need cleaning and oiling. Sometimes the screetching is caused by grit or grime underneath the spool knob. Just my opinion.

[@tryptaman4315]

Because Of you, I bought a Max Z from Walmart and it’s been almost a year and I still use it everyday. Holding up just like my curados

[@weekenddangler4490]

Im a firm believer in this reel I've had one now for 4 years with no issues great reel, hands down. I still use it for some of my videos I post.

[@PolkFishin]

I always recommed the Black Max to anyone looking to get into baitcasting reels. Cheap, durable, and can cast as far as you want it. I had one for 9 years before I lost it in a lake and never had an issue with it

[@patrickewing2752]

Black max was the first reel I ever owned. I learned how to use a bait caster with it. I love them!!

[@sjjones7500]

Patrick Ewing same here bro! First reel I learned to bass fish with and It works like a dream

[@tommymckiddy7872]

Thanks for making a video about a reasonably priced product instead of plugging the outrageously prided product that most people can't afford. It's a refreshing change.

[@jacobstiller5648]

I still use 2 first generation black max reels for mid cranking. It's solid and casts a mile. Keep up the killer content brother!!

[@justinsmitley8357]

Man I'm so glad you did this video! I have had a Abu Garcia Black Max for about a year and a half its what I learned on to fish with a baitcaster. I love it still and it still works great I've got better with it and like you said I can cast farther with it than my more expensive reels. Some people really bash them but I have had a great time with mine. I tried the Silver Max but I don't own one and it seems nice but I think the Black Max is still smoother. I also bought a Diawa CR80 for $50 and it is nice in fact the Abu Blaxk Max and the Diawa CR80 seem to be the reels I use the most. I just got the Diawa Tatula and am looking to give it a try this weekend. However like I mentioned the Black Max and CR80 and what I am always picking up to use. Also you make great video's I love to watch and all the tips and advice!!! Thank you for your time and video's!

[@DanielSparlin]

Been a secret of mine for a while. I’ve been using them for years just cause they honestly are great reels. Bought a few to try for cranking reels and just always performed well. I have several high end reels and the black max works just as great.

[@greensphinx]

I have the Silver Max, and LOVE it. It’s my first baitcaster, which taught me baitcasters are so much easier than people say they are :)

[@Victor-sx6ff]

My first was the black Max i really like it it is not so hard to throw a baitcaster

[@energyrecoveryinc.1157]

*Fantastic rod. Very light and durable! Sensitive rod! I would recommend this to anyone. New and old fisherman. I would buy it again and again*

[@bmxking6582]

Had 2 of these, they were the much older probably original ones. The first one the worm gear gave me problems from day 1 but I was able to mod it to work. The other the spring for the thumb bar broke but after like 2 years of use. Im a firm believer in you get what you pay for but look at it this way, this was 2 reels that got me through 2 years, I've had $150 lews reels take a crap within the first year. Fast forward to recent years and I mostly buy all shimano and diawa but I fish alot and its my main hobby now. Back then I bought $40 reels because my dirt bikes and other hobbies needed most of my money. Love the videos Johnny

[@bmxking6582]

And just to ad, having the problems with these reels gave me a reason to learn to work on them. Gave me a good understanding on how they work. When I did start buying more expensive reels I was confident in rebuilding them because of owning these cheaper ones and not being afraid to break something or not get it back together.

[@rockymountainlockpicker9606]

I just got one, so far I like it. And I spend 2-3 days a week fishing. I’ve got 700 dollar reels, and this black max is plenty good to make me happy.

[@Andiaxm89]

I sold off my expensive rods and reels 3 years ago and bought 3x the equipment by getting daiwa Laguna rods and reels.... really like them, and when I do break one, it doesn’t hurt as bad- thank goodness for Amazon Prime

[@waytage911]

The first time I took my black max out caught a 8lb hybrid with and it had no issues. Love your videos 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

[@valenz2006]

I love the way you broke everything down, great review. Please keep on reviewing more products if possible.👍👍

[@tonythelovegun]

Great video! I just picked up the Black Max bait caster and spinning combos at Walmart. They seem to be quite the buzz and I’m looking forward to putting them to the test here in Illinois this coming spring. Anyway, good vid bro, I enjoyed it!

[@rodgerkunkle1847]

I have two Black max reels. One is over 3 years old now. Still works great. I picked up a Silver Max for 10 dollars more. Now it’s my favorite. I like the disengagement button. It makes a great flipping real engage and disengage with one hand without turning the handle.

[@whattheflock8923]

I have to agree. My first baitcaster was a black max and it’s also my cheapest and I have to say it has always been super reliable and is super smooth. I can’t say it’s better than my more expensive baitcasters but it is always in my arsenal whenever I go bassin

[@roddinnreelin8825]

Black Max and Silver Max were my first 2 baitcasters. They both lasted me a good year before I traded up, I could definitely tell the difference in weight, durability, and castability between those and a $200 reel.

[@jrl3021]

Hmmmm. Well, your videos on graphing, structure etc are amazing! So as much as I love my high dollar Diawas, I still will have to experiment with one of these. .

[@charlesclayton7815]

I've been using the silver max, black max, pro max/max pro, and the revo x for about 10 years now. All 100$ and less reals. They just flat out work! Don't hardly ever have issues. Had a 7 yr old ( heavily used) pro max that went down on me. Just replaced it with a new max pro. Love it. Abu Garcia all the way

[@haroldcale4767]

works for catfishing too. Apartment living no boat / kayak bank fishing is all I can afford. baitcaster reels. go fish.

[@way75mit9]

I sold 2 Lews baitcasters on line ( Suckers) and used the money to buy four Abu's 2 blackmax and 2 silvermax reels and i love these things , best reels i have ever used, Can't beat the quality , smooth castering and tough as nails, best kept secret in bass fishing !!!!!!!

[@shawnbeck2303]

I have a Quantum Pulse Bait caster reel RH. On a 6'6 Ugly Stick medium heavy. The Pulse is my first Baitcaster reel 6 to 6 ratio. I have to say after setting it up. It has worked great. $34.00 reel on a $ 35.00 pole. Now beat that! Not one problem. Shawn

[@jonroty9055]

Thank you for the great review. I am really happy with my Max series reels. I am using 2 silver and 1black. I gravitate toward the Silver Max for the Rocket Clutch switch. It increases the single hand usefulness.

[@BigDirtDawg]

I just got my first blackmax yesterday and love it.

[@fbi1069]

As someone who has this reel and a shamano slx dc I can definitely tell the difference but the black max was my first bait caster and would definitely recommend the black max as a first bait caster because of how good it is for the price

[@sirronbailey3109]

I agree with you 100% all my reels are Black Max or Silver Max. You cannot be to price and you cannot beat the performance.

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

I'm on my second one. The first one I used forever and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to get it going again. Always easy to cast. I 100% agree.

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

I'm sure I dunked my first one under water or something. I've fished since I was 3, but I've never opened a baitcaster up. I know I should.

[@jimwhite3096]

Thanks Jonny really love the channel, just purchased a black Max for $34.00 on Amazon , I already owned one , I agree with everything you said about the reel !!!!! Gotta get a black Max winch now lol!!!

[@castaway6811]

I own several black Max's,and a winch,couple of sliver Max's and a pro max,,,love them all

[@patwalker9890]

Yes! I have Gen 1,2&3 Black Max's in service on my boat. Also have Currado DC, Lews etc. Use them all interchangeably. Only reason I have more expensive reels is because I'm retired and have enough money to play with cool stuff.

[@ronwallace7563]

Black Max was my first casting real I've ever used. I love it! Thanks for sharing.

[@jimmycleveland1373]

I have three of the Black Max reels, and one Silver Max. This is my first season with them, but they seem to really work well. Thank you for the review and advice.

[@romebranson3266]

I know what you mean. I can’t really tell the difference between my $100 lews from my $35 black max! Thanks for all the knowledge you give us

[@hammer12482]

Really? I have both and my laser mg kicks the crap out of my black max

[@chuckbailey7200]

Well, the Black Max is being discontinued. It is being replaced by the "Max X". It's now a $60 reel, but still one of the most economical casting reels out there. There are still some Black Max reels out there on Amazon, eBay, etc... but they also are going for $60 bucks. I bought a Max X and I'm impressed. Wouldn't have done it, except for your video. I'm retired and on a limited budget, so this product is right up my alley! Thanks.

[@Konvinced89]

At 31, I've finally taken my first step into the world of angling; bought a Black Max 7'0" medium/heavy combo on the recommendation of coworkers who fish quite a bit. Started out getting a ton of lash and detangling birdsnests, but having spent time dialing in the tension and brakes - and probably improving my cast over the past week of multiple pond visits - it's already become a real pleasure to use. Now to work on the catching part!

[@itsmerob6120]

Thank you so much for the truth. I appreciate the vids and I'll be purchasing this reel as I'm a newcomer to fishing. I'm hooked! Subscribed

[@jwcoop27]

Thanks for the in depth look at this reel. I may pick one up, from Tackle Warehouse of course! If you would include your preference for knots for each line in a video or two I'd appreciate it. Just work it in to your trip like everything else. I've got my fave's but am curious what you tie for mono, fluoro and braid. Great Job!!

[@dsquaredbassind2570]

These are tips that beginner and journey level fisherman can really use. Instead of pouring money into Tier 1 or 2 level reels, you can save money and not lose performance. I have a Bass Pro Johnny Morris Platinum reel that I loved but it didn’t stand up over time like my Black Max’s or my Silver Max’s. My favorite rods are Walmart Lew’s Hank Parker rods. Again, really good performance at a great price. Not specialty rods but great every day stand the test of time rods.

[@bapojean5981]

The Black Maxx baitcasters have been solid for a long time. I still use 2 round, aluminum frame, Black Maxx's from the 90's.

[@fishontv123]

Just picked this up last week. I'm new to fishing still, so it was a very nice upgrade from my $12 walmart spinning rod I had before it. Still learning how to cast it though. My accuracy improved greatly along with much less backlash after adjusting it properly to the lure being used. I just need to improve my casting distance, but other than that, the black max has been great so far. I also got the 2 year protection plan for $6 since it is my first Baitcaster.

[@crazyobservations3080]

Blackmax has been my first baitcaster this season. Having learned to use a baitcaster with this reel i have probably done everything wrong with it one can do. it still seems to be as good as i bought it. My cast is improving

[@N5KDA]

I just ran across this and I have to say I agree. The Black Max in a much better casting reel that the Silver Max and I have owned both. I have Abu Garcia 55ooC3's, Orra's, and I use Quantum, and Shimano. I love the high end Quantum reels ans the Shimano DC's (I have the SLX and Curado's). I am a little more accurate with some of the higher end reels and for me they cause less fatigue after a day on the water, but for casting distance, the Black Max will hold its own with them. They are great reels to put on a rod you don't use much and just don't want to have a lot of money tied up in it, or all of them. I have back and neck issues and the higher end stuff helps me. If not for back and neck problems, I would throw the Black Max on almost everything and use the money saved for better rods. In 2021 the Black Max runs $55.00 unless you can find it on sale.

[@leonardodesouza8]

That is by far my favorite, I’ve owned one for the mas 5 years and it never let me down, got a second one a week ago just bcz

Dude! KZbin unsub me from your channel! I thought you were not making any more videos for the longest time. I had to look you up to find you. BTW, my blackmax was passed down to my son and he has thrown it into sand, mud, etc Its grinding now but still cast almost as far as my "higher end" reels.

[@flux8438]

Ive had a black max for 4 years. I now use it for bucktails when fishing for muskie. They're tanks! ...and I'm a Lews guy.

[@champhatch14]

For the price they really are awesome, i have had about 5 now and the oldest one lasted me 4yrs of hard working abuse.

[@johnpace1131]

I have the entire abu walmart line, revo, pro max, winch, black max. I'm happy with my black Max's I dont have complaints for the price. While I was testing all these reels out I fished a light crankbait rod and a worm with no weight on my baitcaster with 8lb power pro. There was definitely a difference casting light line and lures with the revo, and a shimano slx I have, and they were way better at casting light gear and not getting backlashes. I'm able to get more distance and have more confidence with the slightly better reel. When I need to make long cast or fight the wind, or fish heavy cover I grab my better 100 dollar range reels, but most of the time my black Max's are fine there is a place for them.

Hey Jonny, I would love to see a short video similar to this (or hear your thoughts) on good value baitcasting rods for recreational anglers. I just broke one of my rods yesterday and would like to grab a few new ones. I am a big fan of your channel. Keep up the good work!

Look at the Diawa Laguna series casting rods. Academy has them starting at $30. I have a 7' M and a 7' MH and I love them. Lightweight, awesome action and still has a sturdy backbone. Or their next level up(can't remember the series name) that starts at $50

[@hashiramasenju4846]

I have both the black and promax. Both start getting “clicky” even when properly maintained and greased. I wouldn’t go with anything less than the Revo SX models. The SX is a workhorse and has never click casted!

[@slaunchhuntertv4282]

Sx is junk. The revo x was the best reel out of the garcia line up. But all abu. Is poor quality. I'll take my shimano and diawa reels all day. AND I was a big abu fan when I started. Had all reels from black max to revo sx. And after buying a quality reel. It was night and day.

[@larrygibson8665]

Nice video and realistic review I would also recommend the silver max by abu has a nice button on top of the reel when flipping I think it runs like ten dollars more. I actually bought them both for some adopted nephews to learn on and fell in love with them myself. So along with my 5 Johnny Morris platinums 200.00 I have 4 silver Max’s and use them equally

[@allencameron8791]

Somen of my favorite gear of all time is Abu Garcia, good stuff,the revo line is awsome

[@krustysurfer]

I bought my first big casting reel 3 months ago the Abu Garcia Black Max I think I paid $49 for it still with the black handles not the red ones it is a great reel once you get the hang of it which took me a little bit coming from spin casting I love the rod but not the rod guides rod guides the stainless steel with no coding or a little rough on my fishing line truth be told. However I love the action on the rod it's a medium heavy and can really Chuck 3/8 Oz Plus lures it's not great on quarter ounce and under weighted lures. My black max combo wrangles unruly Bass back to shore or the boat skipping them across the water I love it I guess I could play around with them in the water and I don't know if it's that fair to them to do so I catch them and let them go as quickly as possible Great video great real I'm thinking of stepping up to Shimano cayas or SLX for my next reel and keep my Abu Garcia blackmax for anyone who wants to try big casting when they go fishing with me keep up the great work Aloha from the Great Lakes

Nicely done! I've had one for a while now and it still works great! Very durable.

[@bassintime6879]

I use mostly $100 + reels and have sent them in for repairs multiple times, I have had two back max reels for several years now still casting like a champ never needed repairs. Silver max has not been so good to me though. But I wouldn't discourage from buying a nice reel, there is definitely a big difference.

[@bjornchristiansson2827]

I have 2 black max and no problem what so ever whit them ! Shimano have I had issues whit in the past and Daiwa as well! But Abu had hold best over time. And I have old Ambassador classics 5000-7000 both red and black whit ballberings. I keep true to Abu as I'm from Sweden 🇸🇪 just black max is not swedish made but they still Abu quality. I use rod 6.6-9.6' and I use mostly braided line of 20-30lbs as the fire line or Sufix 832. I'm very happy whit my reels. Best regards from Sweden 🇸🇪 Bjorn

[@bobbybass1944]

I have 4 lews bb1 and a bunch of daiwa ct and they are just as good as my zillions , as long as you clean them and oil them they will last .. I agree with you 100%..

[@lippindabass517]

Dude I love your videos, your so descriptive

[@chuckthecontractor]

Great info. A $40 reel today is better than a $10000000 reel 100 years ago. People still caught a ton of fish 100 years ago.

[@jaquesdaniels2964]

I've got two of the old blue max , yep , on cheap Ali express rods (about 15 dollars I'd guess) , I agree , they fire out 4 gram ( I think that's around 1/8 ounce ?) waay out . And I tried pitching short cast - pretty good (I'm crap at casting) , and roll and pendulum casting too . The Blue max has a weird feature - there is a switch that stops the thumb bar clicking back in when the handle is turned. Mine are loaded with 25lb braid as there are rocks/tree branches everywhere I fish .

[@MrPHATSPEED]

I bought two of these this weekend. One was just the reel for $39. The other one was the combo with the rod and reel for $45! Walmart FTW!

[@Reel--Life]

You should try the $35 Piscifun Torrent Baitcasting Reel. They've been great for me!

[@huntingspud3086]

I haven't tried the Black Max reels yet, currently using a Silver Max and like it so far. I was disappointed in the rod quality from Abu Garcia as the tip broke twice on me so far, but the reel is doing its job well. Next time I need a bait caster, I'll consider picking up a Black Max, thx for the info!

[@davidalley7270]

I like the Revo x $99 and its excellent...

[@reellifewithcinco7858]

After 1 year with mine, I found I like mine as a squarebill reel with 12 mono on a 7ft medium fast, I could cast em exact the distance from the bank, and the larger squarebills 2.0 size, it casts em extra far without changing the settings

[@bassdojo]

$34 on Amazon. Free shipping with prime. I've gotten these reels at $32 but haven't seen it lower.

[@adaywitjay1]

My first baitcaster was a BlackMaxx I have a few of them, I put Boca Bearings in a few and it out performs all my high dollar reels

[@texcali3043]

Oh btw I really like and appreciate all the videos you put out. Keep up the good work. “Thumb up”

[@texcali3043]

I recently purchsed 2x SilverMax model# SMAX3-L-C 1365365 I noticed I had to thumb the spool quite a bit as you mentioned having to do with the BlackMax reels. I’m glad you mentioned needing to do this. I’m not accustomed to thumbing the spool very much or needing to as I normally use Higher end Diawa Steeze/Tatulas SV/Tatula 200 I wanted to return the reels at first and decided to go find some reviews. Perhaps I should stick to using these for bombing heavier baits further out vs pitching light soft baits not too far from the boat. I paid $38+tax ea. Should I keep them?

[@MaximilianTheBassFisherman]

I’d like to know your thought process behind the value of rods at different price points

[@5.7hemi79]

I second that

[@chrisnewberry4646]

I like the combo your using, I'm thinking about getting a new baitcast combo soon. Do you have an old reel you can bear to part with please?

[@lkeith88]

I have three favorite reels. The black max (own 4 of them), the abu pro max (own 2) and the lews LFS (own 4 of em) with the Lews being the most expensive. Have an older Revo S and a BlueMax still putting in work. Oldest reel now is working on it's 11th year i think. Black Maxes were right around $40 bucks when i bought em, the ProMax i think i paid $80 for and the Lews comes in right around $100 but i picked two up on a 15% sale and had a gift card.

[@jasondiddle4226]

Have you tried doing a comparison of the black max reel vs the newer Max X reel???? They look somewhat similar. The Max X is smaller and the spool doesn’t seem as deep or at least not as wide. You mentioned how well they cast. I bought one after watching one of your videos to try and compare it to some of my others. The black max does make really long cast like you said in this video. I’m curious if the Newer Abu Garcia Max X cast as far and as good as the black max??? Just curious about your thoughts on the New Abu Garcia Max X since you have used the older ones quite a bit. Thank you

[@LAFishBlog]

It's a great entry level reel. Great review. Thank you.
