Anyone have experience with Abu Garcia reels? I am a Shimano guy, but thought I would try something new. I was gonna get the Abu Garcia Cardinal 100U (5 bearing, 6.3Oz, 4lb-100yd, 5:1:1 gear ratio). It's reasonaby priced at 35 bucks so if anyone likes or hates the name, let me know.

Thanks

Luke

Me too.

It's hard to go wrong with Shimano. I'd stick with them.
