abu garcia altum reel Ambassadeur® Altum™ DLC The new Abu Garcia Max Predator LP reels have been specifically designed for anglers who are fishing with big baits targeting large fish One of the smallest round

But what you can do with this stick that is a little more difficult with shorter spinning rods is pitch your bait a decent distance because of the longer pendulum effect

THE REEL There are really only a few things that have to come together for me to consider a baitcaster to be good

Crankbait fishing seems simple enough, right

Red highlights remind anglers that this reel burns baits when retrieved The frame is constructed out of X2 Craftic alloy and for plenty of stopping power Abu also includes an updated Power Stack Carbon Matrix drag system that should dole out close to 20lbs of max pressure

As with the reel, they are not a high-end product
