  • i have that exact old school model i love it you can never go wrong with Abu

  • Thanks for the video......just purchased this reel so hope its every bit as good as you say it is

  • @armjamal1 the stx

  • @goatkiller68 im an abu garcia user and i've own a couples of abu reels. the new one i have is MGX. u should try MGX then u'll get what i've been trying to say. MGX doesnt have magnetic brake but its work well by utilizing a centrifugal brake (vertical motion). FYI there are a numbers of reels that have both brake mechanism and merely was not practical to me. yes u can fine them but it was a bit complicated to do so. any idea? thks

  • @armjamal1 you can according to abu garcia. i watched the review on you tube. and their manager said that you can only use 1 or both to fine tune them.

  • @goatkiller68 hmmmm i dont think so. centrifugal brake works at early casting stage while magnetic brake works at the end just before a lure hit water surface. if u set centrifugal brake to OFF, u'll get a backlash right after u throw ur bait (spool at loose setting). magnetic brake doesnt help so much to overcome this prob and i even think that we dont need magnetic brake at our reel actually... just enough with centrifugal & spool setting like MGX does.

  • @armjamal1 i think you can turn one of the options for the brake off. like you can only use the magnetic brake or only the centrifugal brake if you want

  • yeah,cast it right....

  • @MrYATHATSMYNAME

    I do the same thing.

  • Thanks for the info. Just went to Bass Pro and picked one up today. I have played with it in my back yard for a little while and its backlashed on me a couple of times. But keep in mind this is my first bait cast reel. I have always been a spinning reel kinda guy but my buddies finaly talked me in to buying one. So far I like it, im just gona need some more practice with it and find the right setup like you stated. Goin on a fishin/camping trip in 2 weeks so i better get to practiceing!
