Super User David P Posted October 28, 2014 Super User Posted October 28, 2014 Extremely smooth, awesome size for such a heavy duty reel, and the longer handle and knobs although may take a little getting used to are very very nice and helpful. Awesome swimbait and A-Rig reel. Quote
Zimobass Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Do not own one, but have worked on a couple for friends. Must say that the build quality is good. Smooth and light too.My friends use theirs for frogging. Quote
xanadu Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Total miss aimed at complete suckers. They were drinking heavily when they came up with it. 1. A reel designed for huge baits that has a 7:1 high speed ratio????? (the winch is about 5.4:1) 2. $150 more than a winch for the exact same parts and build???? 3. 8 ball bearings which leaves 2 out of the handle knobs which are under huge amounts of stress??? Go ahead and buy one. In 6 months, they'll be selling for $150 on ebay. Oh, and I own nothing but Abu reels but at least I'm not a sucker. Quote

That statement is kind of an oxymoron isn't it? Sorry. Couldn't help myself. Own a few Abus too......along with several other brands as well. Quote
