Hi Team Century, I agree there are heaps of reviews however the one I posted was very extensive and probably one of the best I have seen. The problem is as I explained above, getting anyone to provide a definitive answer to questions about ABU reels, makes me wonder how good their customer relations are, which is why I am now looking at other brands such as the Penn SQL15 which appears to be a very good reel.

As an aside, up until now I have been an avid ABU fan but slowly going off them due to lack of answers to my questions, particularly to ABU HQ themselves.
