- MBMark B.Verified Buyer4 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsPerfect first baitcaster
This is my first baitcaster, I’ve been using spinning reels the longest. Arrived in mail in great condition, I removed all zip ties applied for shipping and properly put it together. Ran line and fished the next day. I’ve had great results and it’s been an incredible first baitcaster. Smooth retrieve, good action. Definitely recommend.

During a travel baseball travel weekend we found ourselves in Albertville Al. Which is close to gunners lake. Myself and son went over to the local Dunham’s and got 2 combo’s and some baits, line everything needed to rip a lip. My son got the MaxX sp30 combo and I got the MaxStx baitcasting combo. Been throwing it for a little over a month. It is phenomenal in my opinion and really has me hooked on baitcaster’s. Grew up with spinning reels and just stuck to what I knew like a knuckle head. I love how precise the adjustments are on the MaxStx Reel. I have a 1/2 oz SK 2 Tap Lipless crank bait on it and you can throw it with no thumb no backlash. Perfect for beginners like myself learning it’s very forgiving. As I’ve progressed I’ve taken my break off a bit more and using my thumb more, it’s amazing how far u can throw accurately. The Rod is amazing as well very light, the reel lock stays locked. Love the Tennessee colors. I’m absolutely in love with this combo. So much I got a Revo SX/vendetta Combo while they were onsale. Having a blast learning how to bass fish with my son and best friend!
-Thank You Abu Garcia Crew!

Just got back into fishing after nearly 22 years when my friend wanted me to go with him in May. Purchased the STX and caught a monster bass not long after.
- SSShane S.Verified Reviewer7 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsGreat rod reel combo
Great Rod Reel, we are out of town for a baseball tournament and didn’t bring our gear for fishing. We got an opportunity to fish so myself and son ran over to Dunham’s and got a couple combos and some tackle. I’ve been wanting to get this combo for a while I love the feel of it and the look. This Max4stx reel is awesome very smooth. Love the break system, this combo is a steal at $100. You can’t go wrong! Love Abu Garcia products.
