I have the STX, paid full retail for it and love it, 11bb and corrosion resistant with an aluminum body. This reel, the Black Max, is lighter, made of graphite, not corrosion resistant, but I cannot tell the difference between the amount of bearings. Only thing I can see is that the reel seat seems a bit flimsy, compared to aluminum. But, I do not plan landing a 100 lb. fish with this either (would be great!) So, I should have bought four or five of these, and had them all spooled up differently and ready to go. The other difference between the two reels, the STX is made in Korea, this one is made in China. Great reel, great price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Black max V-2 review, January 10, 2012
This review is from: Abu Garcia Black Max Low Profile Baitcast Reel (12-Pound/145-Yard) (Sports)
I was very exited to see a revamp of the Max series reels on the Abu garcia website. I owned a last generation black and silver max and I enjoyed those very much. So when I got the opportunity to get a new one I was very happy.

With a bent drag star, and a bent handle design the reel itself is much more compact than last generation. It is very smooth to reel and feels good in my hands.

Other than that it is almost identical the the older models. Most of the innards are the same. same gear ratio, same magnetic brakes, same spool design, alot is the same.

It also feels ever so slightly cheap. I'm not exactly sure how to describe it, but the outside looks a little plasticky kinda cheap feeling. the tension knob dosen't feel as....precise as the old model, the mag brakes don't seem as good as last years model eaither. One thing I really do miss though is the flipping switch of the older generation. Now only the new silver max will have it. But I can cast... Read more

As always, Abu Garcia baitcast reels are the best. You can't beat the price on this well built reel. Smooth and sleek with all the bells and whistles. I would recommend this reel to anyone new to baitcast reels or even veterans.
