'ABU 505FR - DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOX'
Strengths: Good all round reel. I tend to use both of mine when carp fishing, but they work eaqully well for medium feeder work. Good line lay, and impressive retrieve ratio. Smooth with a very responsive freespool system.
Weaknesses: Sometimes reacts badly to damp conditions. Line can stick to the aluminium spools.
Overall: As I've said before. I have alot of faith in Abu gear I wish more tackle dealers would stock more Abu stuff.
Strengths: Instant anti reverse, five ball bearing drive, rear drag , soft touch handles, spare spool included nice looking very smooth reel i use for my light feeder /ledgering.
Weaknesses: None up till now with 6 months hammer but i have a feeling its match life may be over by the summer.
Overall: Pleased very nice looking reel for the money. Feels nice - lovely and smooth.
