So I've been a Garcia user for a very long time. My first reel was an old 3000. When I started fishing for bigger fish (muskies) I got the first version of the 6500 "Striper" and mounted it on a Fenwick rod back in the 1980s. Still have both of them but the 3000 I now use to troll for walleyes and the 6500 I haven't used in quite awhile as I'm no longer close to the musky lakes. Starting to fish for the freshwater striped bass in my local lake and was looking for a good combo. Find this Max Pro baitcast and though it was pretty cost effective so I would give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did. Did some casting with it this last weekend and I was totally surprised and how well this combo cast, both distance wise and no backlash at all. Set up was very easy, considering I haven't baitcast in a long time. The rod has good action and the reel didn't even think of forming a bird's nest. And the distance it cast was totally unbelievable.
I'm very impressed with this combo so far and looking forward to many days fishing with this combo.
Perfect and came as expected on time
I have the UK/EU version (only difference is the rod has cork handles rather than Eva foam which I find more comfortable) and I have it in 7’ and 15-60g cast weight and it is amazing! I took it to Sweden from the uk (just barely got in the case and it caught me a pike bigger than I caught on my beast rod, it was a 25lbs pike and I don’t know how this little perch/ small pike rod handled it (bass for US) and it’s SO GOOD 25LBS!!! The rod is sensitive and amazing I thought it would snap the fight only lasted around 15 mins it is a great lowish budget combo and great for backbone!!!!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear how well the rod performed, especially landing an impressive 25-pound pike. It's great to know the sensitivity, backbone, and overall performance exceeded your expectations during such a memorable fight. We appreciate you sharing your experience and are glad the rod proved capable of handling much more than you anticipated. Thanks for your support, and we wish you many more successful adventures on the water. Tight lines!
I have the 7’ 15-60g of this in the UK/EU model and I love it it has cork handles unlike the US which is Eva foam but the reel and rod are the same and it’s beautiful and catches 25lbs pike!!!! I think this small rod and reel are understated 20lbs max drag and it caught me a 25lbs pike In ~2hours and the fight lasted on 10 mins very happy almost slipped on the ice and fell in (took it to Sweden)
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're delighted to hear how well your setup has performed, especially landing an impressive 25 lb pike. It's great to know the rod and reel provided the strength and reliability needed during such an exciting fight. It sounds like you put the combo through a true test in Sweden, and we're glad it delivered when it mattered most. We appreciate your recommendation and are happy to hear you're enjoying the setup. Stay safe on the ice, and tight lines on your next adventure!
Just got to try it out today and I definitely like it. I have the prior gen and this one is just as good or even better. Would definitely recommend if you are on a budget.
