Questions about Abu Garcia Black Max & Max X Low Profile Baitcast Fishing Reel

When reeling the line in, the guide goes back and forth. When line goes out during casting, the guide doesn't move. Do I have a defective reel?

Answer: The guide on baitcast reels does not move with the line coming off the spool when you cast. The reel is working how it's supposed to as long as it is feeding the line back and forth on the spool when you reel in.

Answer: The guide only moves while reeling in..

Answer: No the reel is fine if it went back and forth it wont cast good, the handle would go around also . it hast to go back and forth on the retrieve or the line just bunches up . good luck

Answer: No. That is the way the reel is designed. The guide moves back and forth during reeling to evenly distribute line across the spool. I usually try to stop reeling with the guide in the center. I don't know if it actually helps the casting, but my best guess is that it would or should.

Answer: No. All low profile reels I've seen work that way

Answer: Mine does the same. I believe it's working correctly.

Answer: 6:4:1

What hand figuratiom does BMAX3 come in?

Answer: the "-l" means left hand reel config. the ones without a "-l" are right hand reel.

Answer: I received left handed even though it is advertised as right.!

Answer: This purchase is a left handed reel with smooth action and easy to use. My husband actually picked it out because one of our grandson's requested it. He is 14 and is pleased so far except for some strange reason ... it has failed to catch a fish for him EveryTime. You just may have to be a little patient with this tool. His solution, if schools would just have fishing time instead of P.E., it would work better. :) I hope this helps.

Product reviews of Abu Garcia Black Max & Max X Low Profile Baitcast Fishing Reel

Karen H. : Choppy Drags

Bought these to troll with and found the drags to not be as smooth as I had hoped. They will go on some back up rods and not my primary rods.

Mike : Best Baitcaster for the money

Great reel. For the price, you won't find anything better. Thing runs like a champ. I use it for saltwater mostly.

TheFreaka : Great starter baitcaster - watch some videos

This is a great beginner baitcast reel, but watch a few videos first! First off, I got a left handed one because I have reeled with my left hand on spinning reels my whole life. Glad I did - feels more natural. Make sure to adjust the tension every time you switch lures- to test, when you release the brake the lure should slowly sink then hit the ground with no backlash. When casting , make sure to feather the spool the whole time then stop it before the lure hits the water. If you are a beginner , start with the side arm cast- overhand is more prone to backlash. I am using with 30 lb braid and haven't had a single rats nest yet following the tips above. Good luck!

Scott : Great reel for the money.

Nice little reel. Paired it with a 6’6” ugly stik and does a great job with Reds, flounder and bass. Magnetic brake works great. Smooth casting, whether I am using a light lure or using a 1 ounce rig fishing with live bait. The only drawback I have found is that it needs to be thoroughly washed and oiled after every use. Not that big of a deal though.

Jesse : Great intro baitcasting reel

I paired this with an Ugly Stick GX2 and man what an affordable, quality combo. This was a great introduction to baitcaster reels.

Mike Rougee : Great bang for buck!

Great reel for the money, pretty much a "go to" reel in my boat. I own 4 now and havent had any issues. I also own more expensive reels that cast better but have had a few issues with them over the years but these just keep on catching fish!

Amazon Customer : Excellent reel

Excellent reel, using it with 50lb braid line and have no backlashing issues unless it's completely my fault.

Drag system works great.

Level wind is sturdy.

Feels good to use!

Dennis Hall : Great reel great price!!!

This reel is awesome absolutely love it...
i also have a Shimano 151 SLX I prefer the AlbuGracia. It is just such a sweet reel for the price.

Pete : If you receive it in plastic clamshell package, inspect the reel.

I just received my Abu Garcia Bmax3-left And upon unpacking it I found out it is missing the spool tension knob, I believe part# 1302712. Hate to have to return it for such a minor issue but I’m not buying a $6-$8 part for a brand new reel. However I have used this bait caster before and it’s a great little reel for the money.

LILY : HUBBY LOVE IT

HE SPENDS DAYS WITH THIS TOY

Chelsey David Hicks : Impressed

First time owner of a batecaster. Well I was very impressed even for a $40.00 reel. After a few cast and how to videos picked it up right away. Very smooth and light weight reel. I’ll be buying more in the future. The very next day I caught a smallmouth 13in 3 1/2 lb bass very impressed for the money.

Daye kondenar : Don’t regret it one bit...

First bait caster ever!!! I put it on a 7’ entsport med/hvy option and its fire... I love it so far!!!

Caleb H : Great value and style

This is perfect for anyone wanting to get into using a baitcaster. I own a couple nicer abu garcia castings reels and this one works just as well. This will last you many seasons on the water and plenty of fish.

Shelby : Love this reel!

Love this reel! This is my first baitcaster and I've had an extremely easy time getting used to it. I've always heard baitcaster reels were difficult to get used to but I've had zero birds nests and it's second hand nature casting with this reel now. The drag, tension, and break mechanisms are easy and fast to adjust. I have it on a 7ft gx2 ugly stik medium heavy with 30lb power pro braided line.

Jennifer C Hartman : Good but takes time to dial in.

This product is a catch 22 for beginners. The price of entry is fantastic but you also get a bait caster that if you were on for me with the casting that can be challenging at first. I have had my bait casters for going on 2 1/2 years now and they both still function. In that regard I am quite pleased with the low cost of entry and the quality of the product, I will say that it took me quite a wild to figure out the correct settings on the Reel so as not to bird nest on every other cast. And that is why it does not get up for five star rating from me. In all fairness though I think I paid between 25 and 45 bucks for the real so I cannot be that picky I just want a beginner to understand good for a starting place as far as price, but will take some dedication and time on your part to figure out the correct settings for that real to your particular lures.

Ryan B. : Great reel

This is my first bait caster. I wish it came with instructions on how to use. But after a few videos and reading up on how to set it up I figured out all the settings.

I don’t have any experience with other bait casters but I think this is a great reel.

Cb : Buy a Silver max, you won't regret it.

Reel does its job but not well.

Purchased this for my first cast rod and have been using it for about a year. I was happy with the black max and wanted to build a second casting rod. I impulse bought a silver max combo rod for $60 to repurpose the reel on a separate rod. I finally got around to using the silver max, it was NIGHT AND DAY. There is a huge difference in the brakes. The silver max is MUCH more forgiving on tuning the brakes and on your casting style. I am constantly tweaking the brakes on the black max and consciously trying to avoid backlash. With the silver max it's effortless and forgiving, I can switch lures and can get away without messing with the brakes. Maybe the tuning of the engagements on the brakes is better on the silver but whatever the reason is the difference is obvious. The silver max rod was actually much better than I was expecting as well, the combo is now my favorite stick in the bunch.

I highly recommend saving the extra $. If you try them side by side, you'll be stunned by the difference. Otherwise, I've got a black max I'm looking to sell.

Amazon Customer : Buy the Left handed version

This is my first baitcaster. Little learning curve as far as avoiding the birds nest upon casting but I cant blame that on the reel. The quality of the reel surpassed my expectations, especially for the price. I bought the right handed one first and was passing the rod into my left hand to reel in after each cast...I returned it and bought the left handed version which was a complete game changer. Highly recommend buying the left handed version from the get go. Im considering buying another one once Ive mastered casting the baitcaster. My rod is a 7 foot medium heavy Berkly Cherrywood HD. Line is 10lb fluro.

BW : I really wanted to like the Abu Garcia Black Max Low Profile Reel?

This review should be five stars...but...for the second time this year, the “ line release” feature of the Abu Garcia Black Max Low Profile reel is broken. Worse, part of the metal release feature broke off. So two reels with the same issue? When the first one went down I thought maybe I had done something to cause it to break. But today, I was simply going to make a cast and upon pushing the line release feature, part of the metal release mechanism simply fell off. So disappointed. Come on Abu Garcia, you can do better.

D. Williams : Great starter reel

My son wanted to buy his own bait cast reel and rod with some birthday money. He read reviews on this reel and decided this was the one that he wanted. So far he has not been disappointed. It is very smooth and I don't anticipate him having any problems

Dan : Excellent real for beginners and Anyone wanting a light weight real.

Received this well packaged no damage. Can’t wait for opening day of fishing. Haven’t loaded line on it yet due to below freezing temps here so to get the backyard check out I’ll need to wait for spring. Recommend this real to not only beginners middle of the road fisherman as well.

GermanStraightRazors : Great baitcaster

This has to be one of the best value baitcaster reels there is and one of the best for a beginner or someone wanting to add another reel to the stock. Easy to load line and the simplicity of the reel is its best quality. The retrieval rate is a great all around ratio. The size of the low profile reel is a plus too because the lightweight from that result makes for a all day system. No complaints other than I wish the mag brakes had the clicks marked indicating low to high. But that is a small issue that really is inconsequential in the grand order of a value reel. Would have loved to give a 4.5 but Amazon does not do half increments on their ratings.

Jon : Great reel for the money

Just starting out with my first baitcasting reel. This is a great purchase for the money. I'm going to upgrade to a nicer, higher quality/better bearing reel, but this one will remain in my arsenal as a backup.

Daye kondenar : Don’t regret it one bit...

First bait caster ever!!! I put it on a 7’ entsport med/hvy option and its fire... I love it so far!!!

Jon : Great reel for the money

Dan : Excellent real for beginners and Anyone wanting a light weight real.

Jon : Great reel for the money

Dr. who : Great reel for the low price point.

You can crank this thing a mile once you get the brakes to your personal setting. Great reel for the low price point. Great one to start with if you've never used a bait caster before!

Caleb H : Great value and style

Zack : Came broken/defective in box

I’ve used Abu Garcia for years and wanted to try this lower budget reel this spring/summer.
When I opened the box I wanted to test the spool like all fishermen do and I noticed the button to release the spool wouldn’t pop back up once you started reeling in. Not sure if this is a defect or how this reel is but it’s not my style

bearmedic : Like any baitcaster reel

Like any baitcaster reel, this took some getting used to and plenty of practice. But by the end of the day, I was comfortable putting my lures where I wanted them. Watch a few Youtube videos before you go casting; it will save you a lot of frustration. Be prepared to untangle a few snags on your first day out.

Ian Shupe : Hope this helps

I was very pleased with this baitcaster especially for the price. This was a great reel and it is very smooth. Setting the real up was really easy and if you are have struggles there is plenty of videos online. It's is probably a better lake fishing real then a river reel but that's the truth for most baitcasters. Overall this product looked very sleek and has a very high build quality for the price.

prs : love the real,good price,fast delivery,

for the money I did not expect much,I am giving huge satisfation for this product,a quick comment I think is important,I have spent the last 10 years caring for my wife,her spine was held together with hardware,I lost her to cancer almost 1 year ago ,my fishing gear was lost,stolen,etc.fishing is important to me as its theriputic,finances are tight,I am almost 59 years old,this real is my favorite,easy to dial in for smooth casts,and in my personal life the last thing I need is stress wich is possible with baitcasters,this reel has been tremendous,I will purchase a few more as I am able to afford them,I use lefthanded reels, its just easier to use.can't say enough for this one.

A. BEAVER : my favorite brand of reel

I’ve been using these reels since the 70s. Absolutely love this brand

standswithconcern : Great Value love these reels!

Round two: I like the low profile in my hand can’t wait to fish it! Exceptional value and on a great reel. Buy one before they are all gone!

Don-WWF : Love it.

Unbelievable reel for the money. I have a lot of mid to high end reels and so far this reel works just as well. Love it.

Dr. who : Great reel for the low price point.

You can crank this thing a mile once you get the brakes to your personal setting. Great reel for the low price point. Great one to start with if you've never used a bait caster before!

Bmurphy1 : Nice reel for $40

You can crank this thing a mile once you get the brakes to your personal setting. Great reel for the low price point however can feel the difference between this and the $100+ reels if you already own. Great one to start with if you've never used a baitcaster before!

Bryan Hash : Perfect first baitcaster

First baitcaster, and it’s so simple to use! Lightweight and smooth casting.

Pearl delgado : Gargbage

Cant reel in Are you fighting a fish even though I had to drag tied into all the ways

Victoria Herrera : Love it

Takes some time to get used to casting, but it throws far and smooth. I already love this rod, comfortable even with a rod without a finger index point.

TheFreaka : Great starter baitcaster - watch some videos

FnH : Don’t understand.

Don’t see what all the hype about this reel is. It’s nothing special for the price. Works. No better then any other inexpensive name brand reel I have tried.

DIY Dad : Great Value Baitcasting Reel

Good intro fishing reel. First low profile bait caster I bought when I got back into bass fishing a few years ago. I purchased a second one for a cranking rod I won in a tournament. They are good performing reels and I haven't had any durability or performance issues. I've been very happy with the performance, but I have better reels now which are clearly different than these guys. But that's not going to stop me from using them because they're still light years ahead of the 30 year old gear I was using since a kid.

In summary, it is a value-oriented reel so don't expect high end performance. Its not as smooth, doesn't cast for miles, probably won't last forever, but what are you expecting for <$40? Maybe some of the KastKing or Piscifun offerings at this price point are better...I can't say for sure.

Mike : Best Baitcaster for the money

Great reel. For the price, you won't find anything better. Thing runs like a champ. I use it for saltwater mostly.

Chad : Good reel for the price

I'm not a professional fisherman so for what I do it's perfect. Great smooth reel at a good price. Would by again

runnerguy : Perfect for the weekend angler!

I've been a spinning guy my whole life. When I recently decided to buy my first baitcaster, I went to all the online forums and tried to decipher what I should spend my money on. Well, I quickly found out that if I spent anything less than $150 on a baitcasting reel, it would be a complete waste. I might as well tie a string to a can opener, and fish with that! Fortunately, I've been through this before with other hobbies, so I decided to ignore the haters, and spend a measly $40 on the Black Max. And I made the right decision!

If you're a beginner, trust me, the Black Max should be your first baitcaster. It's smooth, casts far, and has plenty of drag. Sure, it takes some practice to learn how to use a baitcaster. I used cheap mono for a while until I got comfortable with it. But after a few fishing trips, I made the switch to braid, and haven't looked back! Yes, you will get a few backlashes in the beginning. It's not as big a deal as you might think. Just start with a tight tension knob, and then loosen it up over time. You'll pick it up pretty quick.

I now have two of these reels. They are on $40 Berkley rods, and guess what? I catch fish! And I mean, a lot of fish! Big fish, little fish, in between fish... they don't seem to mind that I'm using cheap equipment. My PB is currently 6 lbs, 2 oz, using my trusty Black Max.

In all seriousness, if you're a pro, go ahead and spend the bucks on high dollar stuff. Or if you fish several times a week, I can see investing more. But for the weekend angler, this reel is perfect!

P.S. if you are right handed, and you've spent your whole life turning the reel on spinning gear with your left hand... buy left handed baitcasters! You'll thank me later.

Update: 4 months later, I now have 3 of these, they’re still awesome!

2nd update: It’s been 8 months since my last update to this review. I’ve been using my 3 Black Max reels for everything... Texas rig, jigs, lipless cranks, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits... you name it. All 3 reels are just as smooth and strong as the day I took them out of the box. I’ve performed minimal maintenance, and I’m fairly tough on them. But they are rock solid! If you’re on the fence about this one, don’t be! Just buy one and try it out. But beware, they’re so good, you might end up buying several more!

Last update: I thought I would provide one more update... 2 years later! My Black Max reels are still amazing! I haven’t cleaned them, lubed them, or ever taken them apart to work on them. They are still smooth, strong, and work great. Still hands down, the absolute best beginner reel on the market. And experienced guys will love them too!

A. BEAVER : my favorite brand of reel

I’ve been using these reels since the 70s. Absolutely love this brand

Amazon Customer : Excellent reel

Excellent reel, using it with 50lb braid line and have no backlashing issues unless it's completely my fault.

Drag system works great.

Level wind is sturdy.

Feels good to use!

Jonathan Williams CR : Very Good but it has a real disappointment

the product is excellent, it is of very good quality and the shipping time was as expected, however I made the purchase for the left hand, the product in the description claims to be for the left hand but when I opened the box I was surprised that it is For right hand, and I have received it in Costa Rica, I could not return it without having to assume very high shipping costs. It has been a real disappointment
