Abu Garcia Kalex Round Reviews
Actual Customer Feedback:
"Great reel and good price. Bought 2 Pinnacles last season, both needed repair before the end of the year. Stick to the more well-known brands, ABU being one of the best."

"The New Garcia Kalex 50 Bait Cast is great mid-range priced reel. I can almost empty the line on the reel with a cast (exaggerating a little). It carries on the ABU tradition. I like them so much I now have five. They get a work out when I take them coastal fishing in Alabama for reds and specks."

""I bought this reel in April 2010. After 6 months of constant fishing, it's my opinion that this reel is the best choice for the money. I truly fish 3 days a week and have used this reel bait fish, jig, and troll."
