Black Max

Abu Garcia Black Max for Catfish?

Will be fishing for Catfish and Pike. Just wondering if my Abu Garcia Black Max will hold up for big cats and pike… I have a 7′ ugly stik lite which i know can take a hell of a beating and 50lb stealth braid, which can also handle some monsters. The Black Max has a gear ratio of 6.2:1…
The 7′ Ugly stik lite is a medium heavy action… a strong rod. i know that part will hold up

The Black Max reels are nice for the cheaper price tag (I have 2 of them myself) but they wouldn’t be one of my top choices for Catfishing. You would be able to get away with it but your problem is going to be your line choice. You’ll run into trouble putting any kind of 50 pound line on this reel, it’s simply not made for it. The highest pound line that I feel comfortable using on my Black Max reels is in the 15 pound range. You could go a bit more than that, probably a 20 pound test and get by but it’ll shorten casting distances which I don’t like at all.
If I were you I’d look into the bigger Abu Garcia reels. I have one Ambassadeur, which I believe is a 5500 size and does great with the Catfish. They should have them on their website. Some are a bit pricey but they are well worth the money.

As for your rod, I’m not sure on it either. I’m not too familiar with Ugly Stiks but with it being called a “lite” I’d think it’d be a lighter action rod. If so, you’re going to definitely have to make another rod selection, preferrably a heavy action for the big Cats.
