[QUOTE="one100grand, post: 171250, member: 4189"] +1 about the Abu reels. My wife prefers spincasters to spinning reels. I bought her a Pflueger as an upgrade from a crummy Shakespeare she was using and it bound up and had problems in the first 6 weeks, fortunately BPS readily swapped it for an Abu. We got a $10 refund and that reel has taken a beating with no problems. She's even dropped it into the mud and it still works as well as it did on first purchase (after some cleaning of course). She even caught a pretty good sized catfish afterward and had no problems landing it. My only complaint on the Abu spincasting reel is that the drag doesn't seem to be a slight change, it seems to go from completely loose (granted this is after several twists of the drag wheel) before it can be tuned to fighting strength. Once it was tuned, there was no problem. [/QUOTE]
