Abu Garcia Pro Max Casting Combo - The Pro Max reel has now been updated for 2012 with a more compact design and smoother feel thanks to advances in technology. The top of line Abu Garcia Max series reel features seven smooth bearings plus a corrosion resistant instant anti-reverse bearing. Its graphite side plates and frame create a truly lightweight reel weighing in at a mere 7.9 ounces. The 7.1:1 high speed gear ratio is the fastest in the Max family picking up 31 inches per turn. Matched with a 24 Ton graphite rod featuring high density EVA handles for superior sensitivity, this duo is built for performance.

• 24 Ton graphite for a lightweight balanced design
• Stainless steel guides with Zirconium coated inserts
• Abu designed extreme exposure reel seat for increased rod contact and sensitivity
• 7 stainless steel ball bearings + 1 roller bearing provides smooth operation
• Power Disk™ drag system for smooth drag performance

The reel on this combo was the reason I bought it. I had played around with it at the store and really liked the way it had felt, but I found that I could get a decent rod if I matched it in a combo and since I'm not too particular about my rods I decided to try it out. I've owned it for a few months now and it's really impressed me. The drag is nice and smooth and the rod was actually a bit nicer than I had originally thought. It really is a great value.
