Great distance like the Penn 525 mag, and about 5 ounces lighter. I swapped out the 5.3:1 and put the 6.3:1 gear in it . That Abu does it all!

1000

Tis better to remain silentĀ and thought the fool, than to speakĀ and remove all doubt.

Of course! And even better distance on a non level wind, non magged reel! Unless you're a competition distance caster. But that's a whole different animal!smile.gif

My friend, when I learned to cast a Penn 155 in the early 1970's, the spool was controlled by feathering it with my thumb! I still use these reels and other conventionals, and still feather the spool with my thumb. Now, with the Abu's I use the cast control knobs to control how i want my spool to act on a cast. But 9 out of 10 times folks backlash their reels when their plug/weight hits the water and the spool runs on.Ā smile.gif
