That'll happen with any reel that doesn't get cleaned though. I don't get concerned with casting distance @eastonsutley. As long as I can cast 30 yards ...more across my bayou or a marsh I'll be fine
@AllWaterLife I'm a Abu guy but hate seeing other reels fail. The g series really disappointed me with the plastic drag star. A $160 reel should not have that. ...more That's why I went with a revo
The G series was a disappointment, and nothing more. Glad I got an older model. Hopefully shimano comes through with these new reels though @eastonsutley. Sorry ...more for stealing your post @codywross 😁
@AllWaterLife they are supposed to be a "make up" reel for the g series. I'm surprised you g has problems though my friends have them and they haven't ...more broke yet. I only own a Shimano spinning reel
@codywross this is a great reel, and probably one of the best at that price point. Would recommend this reel to anyone. My cousin has this one and she loves it.
And my Garcias are better then Lews. They cast better and the main thing that sucks about Lews is their drag system. I use my reels in salt and pull some monster ...more drum and bull reds, and my Garcias
@Bandy i wouldn't say Abu is trash next to Lews. I own both Lews And Abu's. Lews makes a great reel and will never take that away from them. My two favorite ...more reels are Lews and Abu.
Abu Garcia are trash compared to lews. I've noticed on here they're a ton or people who buy that junk and I dunno why.levelwind and anti reverse go out quick. ...more All I own are lews. Great reels!
I think it's hands down THE BEST reel u can get for under $100! although I will be investing in their higher end reels in their future... great company, GREAT ...more PRODUCT!
