Good product
- ECEdward C.Verified Buyer3 weeks agoRated 5 out of 5 starsMy first Baitcaster
Picked this as my first Baitcast combo, and so far I love it. Was easy to set the tension, brakes, and drag. I would recommend this to anyone new to baitcasters.
- JMJack m.Verified Reviewer4 weeks agoRated 1 out of 5 starsBroke after two uses
It was my second time using my abu garcia max x baitcast and I set the hook on a fish and the line just snapped and after looking i discovered that the rod guild was missing the insert. So I filed for warranty and they have not emailed me back for 7 days. That is just unacceptable I thought abu garcia was better than that. I will not change my review until I hear from abu garcia.

- AHAdam H.Verified Buyer1 month agoRated 5 out of 5 starsThis Abu Garcia is a Beast!
I love my new Abu Garcia combo set! It’s made with very good quality and love the colors. I tried my new Abu Garcia Combo for the first time today and caught a nice largemouth bass. One of my best investments.
- JJoseVerified Reviewer1 month agoRated 2 out of 5 starsRod broke a month later and false warranty feature
A month after owning this combo the plastic reel seat clamp broke off and no longer usuable, reel will only stay on with some zip ties now but moves around. Warranty is just a marketing scheme, only responded to one of my four emails saying they would pass it onto the warranty department and never responded, and they never answered the calls after multiple attempts. Go elsewhere, couldn't own up to a defective product. Was gently used and in perfect conditions.
