I have been a fan of Abu baitcasters for years! I think they are the best deal out there for baitcasters. I've got one that has out lasted two Shimano's that were way more expensive. BTW, the next size bigger braid they offer can be purchased at the local hardware store. It's called chain!

I love my Abu Garica reels alot, I own a few of them mostly in the 4:3:1 ratio for slow rolling spinner baits for large mouths at night time. They are a good depentable reel at a good price. I think that I have only burned up one in all my years of fishing and it was the first bait caster I learned on.
