Segment 1: Fishing lure review the abu garcia black max
The black max is a reel that I picked up at my local Walmart for 60 bucks. And put it on my abu garcia vengeance reel is super smooth and has holes in the spool to easily thread line onto the rod and reel this is so much better than the stock reel that I as I would need to tape on to the reel or not it knot it onto the reel and making it have a lump on it. I had a good experience with this reel and just recently caught my pb bass for our listeners who do not know what pb means. It stands for personal best. But anyways I get more into that next segment. The reel comes in one color black and red. The reel has a nice weight to it and the handles are comfortable to reel all day. I am sure you can find this reel at many other stores. This reel is called black max if you didn't catch it earlier and it fits onto many of my fishing rods. Just so you know it is a reel for just bait caster rods it should have a trigger and the eye holes will be smaller. I have a medium heavy that I use for my fishing. It is easier to set hooks and make sure that hook is well in there. I would not recommend completely unscrewing the cap to the spool tension adjustment as if that falls off and gets sand in it like mine did it will no longer work.
Segment 2: Fishing story
I was out fishing with my brothers and was using some new Storm lures I bought. I caught two bass that day and than the next we took my little brother out to fish with us he had caught his second bass and it was about 2 pounds on an ultra light with a small jig head and yellow twerly he said the fish didn't notice that it had been hook and it just stayed there. And then he caught another bass, this one smaller and skinny but hey a fish is a fish. My other brother that I took with me caught about 5-6 crappie. I was testing out the reel that I reviewed today and then I got hit hard. I reeled in trying not to do the risky move of switching sides. I was reeling as it can cause the hook to fall out. I got my first glimpse and it was a big bass. I got it on shore then switched sides when I was reeling and the hook came right out, a good thing that I did not switch when it was in the water. It was a nice 3 pound bass.
