Abu Garcia - Ambassader Blue Max Reel Review
This is a new reel by Abu Garcia from there Baitcasting range. Abu Garcia have produced a competitively priced low profile reel for anyone who wishes to have a go with a top quality baitcaster at a fraction of the cost of other leading models and brands. I tested out the right handed Abu Garcia model and could not belive the standard of this reel for the money. It was very smooth casting, light, robust, and had all the characteristics of what you would expect from Abu Garcia reels. The Abu Garcia model comes with 2+1 ball bearing and weighs approx 225grams, holds around 175m of 0.30mm line and finished with a electric blue outer spray job and a gold spool finish on the inside. This Abu Garcia reel is ideal for a new baitcasting angler or anglers that fish from Kayak's due to its ease of one handed smooth casting ability.
The Abu Garcia Blue Max has build in Levelwind, Rubber grip handles,hard outer body and has a machined built 5 star Drag System which is a nice added finish to the reel. A good fact about this Abu Garcia reel is if it gets damaged or lost it is only a small price to replace espically when some of us fish on a tight budget.
If you where looking to upgrade from this model there is a Abu Garcia Black Max which has 5 ball bearings and Duragear brass gears, also there is a Abu Garcia Silver Max which comes with 6 ball bearings and a power full Magtrax brake system at the top end of this range.
