For 33 bucks a reel they are great. Lower end but if they last a year it was worth it!

Yea good luck with a year, bought 2 blackmax's in a span of a year cause both crapped out. Lots of plastic parts. If you dont wanna spend a whole lot, look at the h2o express, had mine 2 years and no probs, just needs a good cleaning.

I have two Silver Max that are close to 5yrs old and I only had problem with the anti reverse in one so I would buy that one but not sure about Black Max.
