so i am new here and im looking for some help, i have a abu garcia 802 cardinal reel that i bought for $119.99 last summer, its a great reel but last weekend i was out caught about four smaller bass and the bail decided to snap, or well because of a goofy design came apart (looks like its a two piece which is odd imo) anyways should i pay the fifty to get it fixed(im out of warranty) and by the way this is a goofy set up it seems who ever designed it decided they would make the inner workings complicated as all hell, or should i scrap it and get something else and if i should what should i get? price range anywhere from $100-$200 thanks
