Abu Garcia reels are generally known for performance baitcasting
Abu Garcia reels came to the forefront in the fishing world with the
launch of the Ambassadeur series in 1965. Since then they have risen to
the top of the class in providing the best bait casting reels available.
Although they do have models of spinning reels, Abu Garcia is best known
as a baitcasting company. Abu Garcia reels set the standard for excellence
that all other reels have difficulty keeping up with.
Abu Garcia reels are superior in that they are loaded with features that
give them great balance and precision. They have up to five stainless
steel ball bearings and instant anti-reverse. The titanium nitrate plated
line guide (which means it is super tough and extra smooth) lets the line
wind smoothly onto the spool. The start-up friction is virtually
non-existent.
The precision tuning of the drag in Abu Garcia reels allows you to move
from tension free to lock down and it is simple to loosen the drag without
interfering with the line. The heat dissipation of the graphite Teflon
drag washers eliminated the jerkiness and pulsation you get with other
reels when you are trying to land a fighting fish.
The lightweight one-piece construction of the Abu Garcia reels, they are
free of the distortion and torque that is a common feature of most fishing
tackle when it is under pressure. This highly functional reel instantly
senses when the line is building up and automatically controls the spool
to avoid an over-run. This feature is especially welcomes by the novice
angler. The reel has an anti-backlash system, which applies braking to the
spool only when necessary so fishers can cast light lines and lures very
easily. If you are more comfortable with thumb control you can revert to
thumb control with the flip of a switch. The drag is easily reached when
needed and is a good weight for any rod. They are the best bait-casting
reels to be found anywhere.
Abu Garcia reels are designed for saltwater fishing, but they can be used
for freshwater fishing as well. Because of this feature, they are really
easy to clean when your day’s fishing is over. To care for the reel
properly, you just need to rinse off the reel with fresh water from the
tap and dry it with a soft cloth. Then you should apply a thin coat of
light oil or WD40 to the exterior of the reel. Once a year, the reel
should de taken apart and thoroughly cleaned inside. Although they are
built to last a lifetime, this procedure will keep your reel looking new
forever.
Abu Garcia reels have built a reputation of crafting superior fishing
tackle and ensure that all their products are top quality. The company
believes that the customer deserves nothing less than the best. Of course
the best way to really understand that dedication is to get one for
yourself today.
