After getting my premier and loving it i needed a reel for crankbaits.  I thought that i would try another Abu Garcia since i liked the premier and i must say that this reel is very good.  After throwing it several times over the last couple of weeks i believe that if i need another reel i will go with Garcia.  I love their products and i think they have great customer service. 

 

Nice! Was cruising around ABO the other day; I may use them for some bait and terminal tackle soon.

One thing I would say about my Winch... It really benefited from a proper cleaning and lube. Performance was noticably better after a little TLC.

I have nothing bad to say about my Winch. I like it better than my 2009 premier.

Oh it rocks. I was just saying that if performance seems lower than you expect, it probably sat for a while before purchase.

I agree. I want to learn to maintain my own reels to avoid problems like that. One day ill find the courage.
