Actual Customer Feedback:
"I have had this reel for almost 2 years now, and must say , what a reel. This thing is so easy to clean and maintain, but the length of a cast is awesome."

"I have the 40 and the 60. I love both. It might not have the personality that the International classic Abu Garcias do, but it's still great."

"I have been wanting to get a heavy duty reel for fishing catfish. I went to my Basspro in Council Bluffs, IA. The reel guy of the day "Mark" recommended this one. I told him I hated baitcasters. Everytime the line would tangle and I would spend 10 min. fixing it. "
