SixPackBass Diawa J-braid is usually what I have tied on for my set ups. I will use a fluro leader when I need one and I’d say 95% of the time i will use a palomar knot unless I’m using mono then I’ll use improved clinch
Hello I have these Abu Garcia black max bait caster reel but on my bait caster reel the Handel and knobs are red I pared it up with the Abu Garcia vengeance medium havey bait caster rod and it looks sick 👍🏼 I love Abu Garcia
Bought the Black Max today and I can't get it to cast more then 3 ft before locking up and coming towards me. Could you show us your settings so we know where to start?
Lot of variables here. (Weight of the bait, line type/size, rod length, and how comfortable you are with riding the spool) My suggestion is turn your brakes all the way to max, and then slowly back them off after each cast until you find your sweet spot.
Hey! Wondering how this setup is holding up, haven't seen a follow up vid from you and i was thinking about buying the black max with the 190cm vendetta 60-100gram soon :D
I have another question about the reel, what weight lures do you think it can hold up to? I see it mainly gets used for bass fishing however I'd like to do pike fishing with it :)
@@SixPackBass I am not new to baitcasters and have a much higher end Shimano one. I bought the Black Max as a spare and it does not cast far at all unless using heavy lures. Anything of medium or low weight HAS to set the brakes up 6+ otherwise you get crazy backlash. Spool Tensioner is set properly. Any suggestions as to how to cast lighter lures? My Shimano does not require any brakes and can have the Spool Tensioner very loose.
dont use the holes to put a line into. Thats for air tension not for line. You want to start spool centered. Also, use a fluro leader with that crank bait.
I run straight braid on pretty much everything I own. (I know this can cause cranks to not run at their proper/recommended depth) As far at the "air tension" on a ported spool I have never heard that before. Could you explain or link an article for me? Thank you for tuning in!
@@SixPackBass air as in less weight. It makes the reel lighter. The holes make the spool lighter, not designed to tie your line to. Just center tie as normal. Good fisin!
Brother check out your views on this video WOW!!! I am a huge Abu Garcia fan!!! New to your channel buddy hope you can come by and check us out sometime ☝️👊

I use a Palomar to tie my baits on...
SixPackBass super strong and easy to tie it’s a good one. Good video too congrats on the rod. Thoroughly enjoy the content on your page keep it coming
I appreciate that! Let’s me know I’m doing something right 😂
SixPackBass do you tie your bait directly onto your braided line?
Love this reel been using it for a year have it on a ugly stick gx2 best rod imo
Gx2 is nice I have the same setup
I have this rod and reel as well. When i used it the first time the line got tangled within the spool. What did i do wrong?
Love the video my man! Thanks for the shoutout! Looking forward to seeing some videos with you catching some hogs on this setup
For sure man! Thanks for running the giveaway! I need the weather to clear up so I can get back out there.
SixPackBass dude I hear you! I’m down in New Orleans but the few days I’ve gone out down here I’ve had the worst weather luck hahah
How do you set it up so it won’t backlash on you
Hello I have these Abu Garcia black max bait caster reel but on my bait caster reel the Handel and knobs are red I pared it up with the Abu Garcia vengeance medium havey bait caster rod and it looks sick 👍🏼 I love Abu Garcia
That looks sharp! I have one of those rods in a 7'3" heavy fast action. I was wondering what reel would go well on it and the Black Max looks great.
Thank you! That Black Max has seen many fish. Good little reel that’s for sure.
I just bought my first abuugarcia baitcaster reel its also right handed reel I was wondering if I can make it in to a left handed
You would have to purchase a left hand reel. No way to swap them back and forth.
Yes,that is correct. You can't interchange these reels. It's either R hand or L hand
Sick set up man!
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
1000th sub right here !!!
AWESOME! YOU ROCK! Thank you for the support!
What is your gear ratio you have set it on
6:3:1 reel
Do you tie a leader on braid or can you just tie it strait braid
Personally, I run straight braid.
What pound braid?
@@connorrohman4731 I run anywhere from 12-20 pound braid.
Nice!! We love our Abu Garcia’s. Gonna sub to your channel.
+Addy & Jonah it’s been a great setup for me!
It’s a nice setup for their price.
Check out our fishing videos and give us a sub 👍😝☺️
You don't use a fluorocarbon leader?
Depends on situation and what I’m throwing. Most of what I use though is on straight braid.
what is the heaviest braid you would use for it? i got 65lb and i think its a bit much😂
I just bought the black Max combo today at Walmart for $60. Comes with 6’6-1pc, and two free Berkley tip water lures. Steal
Can’t beat that!
hey you should do a review on the abu garcia black max 3 and on how to put the knot to tie the line on the baitcaster
I might just have to do that!
aiden ship use medical tape on the line and you’ll be good to go
Electrical tape will work also.

+Qwerty Muziek the rod works great man! I had to replace the top guide, but that was my fault. (Caught a limb when casting)
@@SixPackBass thx for letting me know! Will buy it next week :D Let the pike hunt begin! ;)
I have another question about the reel, what weight lures do you think it can hold up to? I see it mainly gets used for bass fishing however I'd like to do pike fishing with it :)
Qwerty Muziek heaviest lure I have throw with it is 1.4 oz swimbait. It did just fine.
@@SixPackBass Allright, thanks! My baits are like 50 to 60 grams usually so probably won't be a problem then :)
Wht is the new rod that u put the bc?
Vendetta rod
Braid removal tool..Cordless drill and a ice cream stick
I ponied up and bought one lol. Coulda saved some money and used your method.
Where was the set up of the reel?
Great set up. I’m ordering me a black Mac myself
For the price you can’t beat it!
any tips of setting up the reel the adjustments seem strange where ever I have them casting is poor
+james allen when you say casting is poor are you referring to distance or birds nesting?
My doesn’t cast far
I have my brakes set to about a 3 and it does well for me. That’s also using 30 pound braid.

Yeah I knew the ported spool was for weight reduction. I haven’t had any issues with tying my knots through the spool holes though...
@@maddawgzzzz its completely fine to tie at the holes...
You dont start a baitcaster or any reel center lmao youd have way more line on one side then the other fool.
You should do A lucky tackle box review!! I got one and there cool!
Yeah...I’m not the biggest fan of Lucky Tackle Box.
SixPackBass Would you mind me asking why?
Just haven't had the best experiences with them in the past. Also, not the most responsive when it comes to customer service either.
Caught the black max baitcaster on sale for 25$ put it on a uglystik gx2 rod
That’s a great setup for the price!
Nice
