My dad surprised me with this setup after my daughter mentioned to him that I liked it
Very nice of him! I have the same one. I’ve noticed a lot of people poopooing the setup. But it seems really nice to me!

They can do that all they want. Didn't stop me from catching 11 bass last weekend!

Say what you will about "walmart setups" but they are pretty decent actually.

So does this one. It's the best one I've ever used to date. I also have an older Abu Garcia.

I might have to get that one too because I like the black!

I have a black Max I bought from a flea market for 20$ and I’ve burned the bearing outta that thing! Awesome reel on the cheap! Love it for river smallie fishing off the banks. Still casts great even though it growls pretty loud after 2 years of abuse and no maintenance

I just bought a black Max from Walmart. Works great. Have the same set up you have and it works great. The Blue Max has to be adjusted just right but it works well. Buy what you can afford. Your fishing to catch fish, not an audience like a pro. I always buy what my wallet says I can afford. Sometimes the answer is no. hahaha
