“This reel is small, lightweight and easy to cast. It has an excellent drag system, and is perfect for light line. On the day I tested it, I caught over 30 seatrout.”

Testing
I would enjoy testing heavy duty, high end spinning rods & reels. I have a few Shimano's & Penn's to test the rods with and an assortment of Crowder & St Croix rods to test the reels with. I would be able to give you a detailed, knowledgeable full test. I don't play, I fish.

trying it
Being a light weight reel youl have a better casting range. but i think il have to test this reel to find out the proper weight for the line that best fits the ABU GARCIA CARDINAL 504ALBI
