I no longer trust Shimano reel expect their Stella. -
I am at the other side of the world, shipping is very expensive. nearest Abu service center is in Malaysia.

I have the Abu Revo Rocket and the Abu Revo premier reel. the Abu Revo Rocket cast like a dream. but the Abu Revo premier is making noise when casting and reeling. I have email to Abu, they ask me to send in the reel. but I never send. I sold 2 of my gen1 Abu for a cheap price, I just want to get rid of it.

Turf line 6lb rated braided line will brake at 13lb. check their website for more info. other line do break below their rating. example I bought china braided line rated at 30lb but broke at 10lb when tested.

I ditch FireLine and now only use Turf Line. my best braided. I got many Sea Bass in a paid pond using 6 lb Turf Line.

I nearly perfect my cast with every day training.One day 2 time I train. when going to work and coming back from work. I drop by at the nearby reservoir which is on the way to work. it took me 5 years after that I sold my surf rod.

I cast with meg zero only depend on centrifugal brake only.I try to cast without brake at all but bird nest. So now my normal cast is using centrifugal brake only. zero mag. But now I am weak after hit by stroke. so casting distance is not far. after a few cast I feel very tired, so go back home. is ok, the reservoir is just 10 minutes away from home. so any time I drop by to cast. fish? yup, there are some medium to small size peacock bass. I am already sick of catching and releasing peacock bass. Now I cast with jigs ,sometimes clamp will bite the hook. Never heard anybody fish for clamp. I don't know what to do with those big fresh water clamp. so I release it to the reservoir. use them as bait? I will get fined by ranger........vheers

I bought a surf rod 15 years ago. I never use it until 2 weeks ago. On my second look the workmanship is good. I went to the same shop again. he say buy 1 get another free. in total I get 3 rod. 2pcs 13ft and another 9ft rod which was so cheap and hard to resist. they are telescopic rod. easy to carry and set up. just pull out and ready to cast. it can cast 200gram weight. I also got 3pcs Abu Ultra Cast 13ft rod. it take time to set up. but now I don't have strength to cast 13ft rod.
