Well we just ordered some abu revos and some other abu Garcia bait casters any body like or dislike . I just got sick of getting a new reel and it would not reel in and the next one was the same two in three days gees . need some feed back and want to know what kind of line to use for a long lasting reel. I don't care to buy any more junk . rapala and zebco and daiwa all three didn't last a day .feed back would be nice .Good fishing to yall.

I always buy the cheap shimano fx 4000 reels and spool them up with braided line.
They last for about two years kayak fishing with the occasional dip in salt water and then
I replace them. Only costs me around $50 per reel.

I found that more economic then investing in really expensive reels.
Too much hassle for me to look after and maintain the expensive ones and having to worry about loosing them on the kayak.
I just give the cheap shimano reels a quick rinse with fresh water after fishing and that's it.

We spend a lot of money on different ones it wont be to hard to look after . Just cant wait till there here to learn how to use them without a birds nest haha .
