Abu Garcia Soron STX series.........:blush:

Hell Yes......

[paulymassy]

i dont personally fancy these

[yoyo]

better than the Saltiga...apparently...hey dont shoot the messenger.......... ;-)

[paulymassy]

saltiga what?

[noname]

i'm assuming the saltiga blast, by daiwa, time will tell, hmmm. don't know what size it is, but doesn't look like it will hold any amount of serious line.

[planetfonz]

u never know tho noname - with line getting stronger and thinner it would probably go pretty good for line capacity .. i'm a big fan of abu's .. they were my dream reels as a kid so i'd give one a go mmmm

[noname]

my way of thinking is, if it's allegededly better or on par with the saltiga series of reels, in what way is this, just doesn't look like it would hold 300 mtrs of between 50 and 80 lb braid to well, most of the gun spinning reel man's seem to produce a deeper spool for running quite a bit of heavy line.but might well be up there with the smaller finnese reels. but hard to judge size, as it looks like a 4500 somethin?.

looks nice but the spool dose look small.i got 2 abu's they where the right price got them at about 1/2 price .got to luv old stock .they feel nice but have only had them a few weeks ,so time will tell how they hold up.

i liked my jarvis walker vs650rd and shakespeare 2010-050 pro touch.they did me good many years .javas striped the cog got a new cog but no good as it dosen't have bearings just plastic bushes.

thats a reason why the abu's feel better than it did.the abu's i got had a good size spool on them.anyways there a upgrade from the j w vector .so will see how much punishment they can take.
