Abu Garcia MAX STX Casting Rod and Bait Cast Reel Combo - Baitcasting Setup for Predator Fishing - Pike, Perch, Zander, grey/orange

My husband very happy with purchase.

My girlfriend bought this for me for Christmas using my account as I have Amazon Prime. Never got round to using it until today due to work commitments and poor weather. After about 10 casts using a 18g Spoon (Rod rated for 15g-60g), I heard a cracking noise. The rod cracked. Extremely disappointed, I have 3 other Abu Garcia Rods (Devil, Carrabus and Venerate), and have never had a single issue with them, as a matter of fact i have only used Abu Garcia rods for the last 5 or so years.This rod is of appalling quality. Extremely disappointed as it wasn't a cheap gift, and because I didn't get to use it until now, I can't get a refund. Avoid at all costs.

Very good item, it was shipped with all the protection it needed. Perfect and super recommended.

Dear Team,Hope this email finds you well,I purchased in January as a Christmas gift for my friend the fishing rod (all details attached below)Because of the bad weather unfortunately he was not able to use it until LAST WEEK.As soon as he tried to set up the rod and to add the line on it the rod simply cracked at the top.The top looked like a plastic and he was really shocked the way it cracked in his hand.Imagine going fishing with this rod. (It s all plastic and in the description is mentioned that is made from carbon)I can even send you the picture to look at it.I did my researchs and i know abu garcia is a really good brand and as per all the reviews it can't never happen something like this.I m really disappointed as he did not even used it once from the time i purchased it as a gift for him.Kindly let me know what we can do about this situation.Awaiting for your reply

Caught my first pike within an hour of using this and it was so big it stretched an entire spool of 15 pound line

Fishes well, fast retrieve, looks cool. Nice.

The reel only castes 25 yards then stops, relined it and still the same very annoying .

Rod arrived in the box no damage on the box but when I opened it the top eye was missing broken off the rod and it was not in the box so the item was broken before it was even shipped to me don’t buy it

Très bon ensemble pour débuter le casting, un peu rigide quand on est habitué à utiliser des spinning en 2/10g mais on s’y fait vite, très bonne réserve de puissance

Had deze hengel, was zo blij dat ie snel werd bezorgd, bij het uitpakken van het pakket kwam ik erachter dat ik maar een halve hengel heb ontvangen.Wordt er niet gecontroleerd als ze iets versturen.Voor de rest een mooie hengel om te zien, maar kan er niks mee. Groeten van Jopie zonder top!

Compré inicialmente el carrete de casting, luego vi el conjunto y decidí devolver el carrete porque la verdad estaba muy bien de precio.Cuando me llegó,me vino el carrete montado en la caña, sujeto por unas bridas de plástico (que para quitarlas tienes que usar un cutter!!!...con el peligro de rayar caña o carrete -yo hice una pequeña muesca al carrete)Me sorprendió que viniera en una bolsa de plástico envuelto todo, luego en una caja de cartón para el envío. Y una cosa que todo pescador sabe, es que hay que hacer mantenimiento al carrete, desarmarlo, engrasarlo, sustituir piezas....no venía una hoja de despiece, no de garantía...nada de nada!!!. Menos mal que había pedido el otro antes y al venir en su caja venía con todo...e hice una fotocopia del despiece y de las características del carrete.Yo me esperaba que viniera la caña en una bolsa de tela y el carrete en su caja. Si soy sincero y hubiera visto que venía así, no lo habría comprado. Seguro que por 10€ más se coge una caña y el carrete por separado...y tienes todo.Al final tuve que comprar unas fundas de tela para la caña..... resultado....me gasté más que lo que me había ahorrado con el pack...y sin tener despiece del carrete.No volveré a comprar ningún pack de este tipo, al menos de Abu, y si es de otro fabricante... intentaré averiguar si viene como debería de venir.

Per chi si approccia al baitcasting e alla pesca del bass, una ottima scelta per rapporto qualità prezzoLa canna é da 198cm casting 15-60 grammi quindi una medium-hard, con azione fast.E il principiante qui dirà "e che significa?"Praticamente la canna permette di tirare fuori dagli anfratti senza troppa fatica la nostra preda, anche di dimensioni generose, senza tuttavia rinunciare ad un'eccellente sensibilità di punta per sentire le tocche.Sul mulinello sono rimasto sbalordito.A primo impatto i materiali sembravano molto cheap, (vengo da un daiwa fuego che da solo costa come questo kit).Alla prova di pesca invece fa egregiamente il suo dovere.La grande pecca dei mulinelli economici é nella tenuta delle regolazioni, qui invece sia il tensore della bobina sia il freno magnetico funzionano benissimo.Imbobinato sia con un fluorocarbon da 20 libbre sia con una treccia da 25 si lancia ottimamente ed é anche silenzioso.Forse un pelo lenta la velocità di recupero ma non uma grande pecca.Ottimo il selettore per l'opzione flippingNel complesso soddisfattissimo e straconsiglio

Die Angel fühlt sich sehr hochwertig an.Meiner Meinung nach auch perfekt für Anfänger ,wenn man auf paar Kleinigkeiten achtet.Ich finde den Preis für die Leistung mehr als OK für mich deshalb eine Angel die 10/10 Punkte bekommt
