Mike, who, switches to Abu???? Where does tackle tour get the babes to hold the tackle and pose for reviews, they need more photos.....just like beer commercials!!!!!???

never mind about the Mike question....I looked at Abu's website....Mike Iaconelli, pro bass fisherman, has switched. I've never like Abu much.....bought a few when I first got back into fishing after college and want my first casting reel(Eon) and a musky reel(C4). Not very impressed. Rather spend the extra 100$ and get a Curado or Cardiff or Calcutta or Chronarch!!! Stradics are sweet too. Maybe if I bought the highest end Abu I'd be more impressed, but since I've switched to Shimano, it's going to be a tough sell or a great deal for me to try......I'm not even impressed with my Quatum PT Energy Burner from 2years ago, when the old model dropped 100$ or so......would've thought the same quality as a curado or chronach but nope......
