Line capacities

[doublest]

I inherited a couple of the old Abu Garcia Pro Max 1600 Reels. These seem to be great reels. Any thoughts on quality of these reels?
Also: I was wondering if anyone knows the line capacities of these reels?

Check out this link, it has a little info about those reels, it's an old article from the New York Times from 1992.   http://www.nytimes.com/1992/09/19/news/a-big-reel-for-those-big-fish.html

Great reels, not as fancy as newer models but a work horse! Practice is the only way to learn and be sure to leave your frustration factor at home

You are very welcome and like Mike say's, Don't give up on them. It will take some practice to get the casting down.

I look at it this way, if I can learn to use a baitcaster, anybody can lol!
