I did a very strange thing

[Skunked in DR]

Went into my local tackle store intending to buy a new Saros 2500 or a Tierra 2000.  I've always owned Shimano spinning reels but thought maybe I'll try something new.  Anyway, the clerk suggested I look at the Abu Soron in a 20 size.  I tried it and I liked it, thing feels absolutely bomb proof.

Anyway review to follow in the coming weeks.

Nothing strange about that.  It is bomb proof.

send pics of what you catch on it.

I have a soron 40 been using it a few months.  It replaced my cardinal 804,  my cardinal was the bomb, not the soron.  That being said I have caught many fish 10-20# on it and handles them fine, but the stradic is a superior reel.

For freshwater and saltwater boat use I like the stradic but i's a sand magnet and no one uses them on the beach down here, for that application the soron seems to be a better choice.
