Though we can fairly claim that the Pro Max reels have a decent cranking power, the high gear ratio does decrease the amount of power it can generate.

We haven’t encountered any backlash even after 1200+ casts spread over a week and the retrieves were quiet which our ears are very thankful for. Taking design cues from the Orra® and Revo® lineups, this new model delivers first-rate performance in an exceptionally smooth package. The externally adjustable MagTrax casting brake ensures efficient casting control while the 7+1 stainless steel bearing system delivers a remarkably smooth retrieve. I had initially started with the spool tension adjustment set pretty loose, as I do with all of my reels. This obviously didn’t explain or justify the poor free-spool test, but it did show me that there was something lacking in the QC department at whatever factory produced this reel.

This combo includes the Pro Max rods that are designed with slim, lightweight and strong 24T carbon blanks that provide exceptional durability. The externally adjustable MagTrax™ casting brake ensures efficient casting control while the 7+1 stainless steel bearing system delivers a remarkably smooth retrieve. It’s a trust that’s been earned by building products right the first time, and making them even better time after time.The Glasgow Angling Centre Limited is a credit broker, not a lender and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 716037). I was pleased overall with the casting performance, but I was a little concerned with something that I felt while retrieving a topwater wakebait that I was trying out.

The bearing upgrade add another 12 yards to my cast beating the Abu Garcia Revo SX Spinning Reel by 5 yards based on land casting tests. For three generations and beyond, anglers the world over have put their trust in Abu Garcia for tackle that stands their toughest tests. Understanding how different temperature ranges affect the fish, from high to low, will help you step. The Pro Max also features our Rocket Line Management™ System allowing maximized casting distance while reducing wind knots.

We found both the reels to be easy to use and you can easily get a hang of them after a couple of casts.

So instead of being able to flip the cover of the box open and view your new purchase in all of its glory and wonder, you’re forced to resort to using scissors to cut away at the package until it surrenders and gives you access to your new reel. I didn’t necessarily find the culprit, but I did find that one of the screws that holds the reel together was very loose.
