Thanks for nothing Abu Garcia

Didn't have a net? Pretty rough handling of a catch and release fish.

Nice vertical hold in your avatar LOL

Some JB Weld judiciously applied should fix that reel then you can keep it for newbies.

have a welder friend fix it up for you.

I sent a busted c3 into Abu and they took care of me. Seems to me they have decent service.

 

As for the reel quality.. I had it rotation for a few years and used it lots until it was demoted. They are not great for pulling big baits for longer then that. For a hundred dollar reel, seems about par. But mine needed new gears or something... Didn't break a reel seat mid fish lol!
