Thursday Focus- Abu Garcia Black Max Combo

This entry was posted on 12th June, 2019

Abu Garcia is the Swedish brand that has long been established in the European fishing scene. In 1952, a decade after ABU produced its first fishing reel, the Ambassadeur reel was released. This was a reel that was to firmly place ABU on the angling map. It is still one of the most precise sea fishing reels to have ever been manufactured, and an upgraded version of the reel is still on sale today. The upgraded reel features Carbon Matrix Drag technology, which is the most durable drag system on the market.

The Abu Garcia Black Max Combo upholds the brands reputation for high-quality manufacturing and is the perfect bankside tool for extracting pike and zander from their snaggy margin sanctuary, yet equally adept at a spot of boat work out to sea. The 6ft 6” rod and baitrunner reel combination work in symphony, putting performance at your fingertips, repeatedly offering a smooth and accurate cast.

The rod is constructed from 24T graphite, resulting in a lightweight, progressive yet strong blank which is lined with Zirconium bordered stainless-steel guides which are designed to work in conjunction with thicker braids and snag leaders, resulting is an incredibly smooth predator fishing setup.

The rod is equipped with an Abu Garcia baitcaster reel complete with double handle and finished in a gloss black with striking red accents on the handle, spool and smaller reel components, mechanically, the reel operates on a 5+1 anti-corrosion ball bearing system.

At the butt end of the rod is a high-grade EVA handle which has been ergonomically designed to ensure you enjoy the best possible grip during intense fights with PB predators.
