'Leave well alone'
Strengths:
Wooden grip; All metal frame; Levelwind; Looks good.
Weaknesses:
Stiff and clunky pushbutton clutch; Flimsy clicker assembly; Sharp edge on one of the crossbars - ideal for shredding line; Unpredictable drag.
Overall:
Whilst it looks the business at first glance, in use the reel immediately shows its true colours as a cheapy.
Everything on the reel lacks smoothness, especially the drag and clutch which feel as though they're suffering from rust.
The clicker broke in the first hour - refusing to disengage so that casting more than 30 yards was impossible.
If you want something that looks and perfoms like an Abu 6000 - buy an Abu 6000.
