The company manufactured pocket watches, telephone timers and taxi meters. Borgstrom was a brilliant craftsman with a talent for light precision engineering; skills he had acquired during his years in the Halda watchmaking factory. Unfortunately, World War II caused a sharp decline in the demand for taxi meters. Undaunted, ABU redirected its skills toward the development of precision fishing reels used by anglers the world over. That's why Abu Garcia later received the honor of being chosen "Purveyor To The Royal Swedish Court," a distinction bestowed upon a select group of manufacturers for consistently exceeding its highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. Abu Garcia's influence on the sport fishing community is unmatched. The company remains firmly committed to maintaining its industry leadership position by providing anglers everywhere with the highest quality, most innovative products. .com A value-priced Abu Garcia reel, the new, compact Black Max features a smooth-retrieve, 4+1 bearing system with enough built-in durability to withstand the rigors of hardcore fishing.

We just went and he caught a few bass including one that was 5 to 6 lbs. I talked him in setting and using the rod & reel. He got only a couple very minor backlashes. Then he was casting very well, learned very fast how to use it.I tried his rod & reel when he sat to take a break - I was using one of my Revo STX series w G. Loomis rods myself. I have to say the reel feels good and worked liked a more expensive reel. I liked it enough I ordered another for the trips when we bust through brush hiking, I'll use one of these and save my more expensive gear for the safe trips. Plus with the Berkley 2-pc 6' 6" Cherrywood rod, I wont worry as much snapping my G. Loomis 1-pc hiking in the brush (sometimes nearly on hands and knees).For under $50, this reels works very well. I can't say anything bad about it. Had to order another for myself says something. I grew up on several bait casters and this has to be the best deal dollar value for a baitcaster. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Quality Reel *by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2012* Based in Liverpool, but got the reel from US Amazon site, and as well as cost, was instantly pleased with speed of post. Then out of the box, the initial look, feel and quality of the reel pleased me even more. Have just had chance to use it off the coast of the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall, for a couple of days early morning plug chucking and spinning in the surf from the beach and off a harbour wall.Unlike my catch rate, the reel was perfect for all types of spinning and lure fishing. Used it with my 10ft Penn Bass Spin Rod, loaded with 125 yards spiderwire braid (18lb).Best test was simultaneous catch of 3x mackeral, about 1lb each, on multiple hokkai lures. Working with lighter tackle helped give the situation a sportier feel, but fighting against retreating surf and rip tide, the reel stood up well. Wouldn't say effortless, but then again it wouldnt be sport if it was.This was my first time using a multiplier style baitcast reel for this type of fishing, and had my trusty Okuma fixed spool in the bag ready to use as back up if all failed. Make sure lever drag and brakes are set with your first few casts, and you can have hours of effortless casting without the usual birds nests of spooled line.Well worth the purchase, very pleased. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great Reel for an inexpensive price *by D***C on Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2015* I purchased one of these to replace an old reel that was just out of date and had seen better days. I kind of bought this one on a whim. After looking at some of the high priced baitcasters at Bass Pro I thought "How bad can it be?" I was totally surprised by the quality of the reel. Very user friendly and after a couple casts it performed flawlessly. Smooth drag and good line capacity (100 yds of 15 Lb). I could have rated it 5 stars but just felt guilty giving a 40 buck reel a 5 star rating. First day out caught a 10.5 lb Largemouth. I've since bought two more and have not had a problem with any. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/1139729-abu-garcia-bmax2-black-max-baitcastreel-rh-5bb-6-4](https://www.desertcart.us/products/1139729-abu-garcia-bmax2-black-max-baitcastreel-rh-5bb-6-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
