Title: Good upgrade suggestions for a black max 2?
Post by: aaronb on May 31, 2012, 08:03:01 PM
This winter I got a black max 2 this winter to learn how to use a baitcaster.  It's a pretty nice little reel for a cheaper reel.  I have recently got a Shimano Curado G6, so I'd have a little nicer reel. I don't plan on completely abandoning the black max.  I'd like to tune it up a bit. I've already replaced the spool bearings with the boca bearing orange seal bearings.  I was considering a carbontex drag if I can find one that'll fit.  Does anyone know of a readily available carbontex drag washer that'll fit?  Anything else anyone would recommend I could do to the reel?  Thanks.

a standard drag upgrade and bearing service will go a long way!
