Questions and Answers

Q
My previous Abu closed face reels all suffered the same problem. When back winding in order to half the drag, the full drag did not return for several turns - by which time a fish is in the reeds. This made these reels useless for serious fishing for anything but tiny silver fish. Any improvements? Thanks! Roy

Hi Roy, As far as I'm aware the drag system on these reels act in pretty much the same way. They are notorious for being more awkward than they should be, but they are also not really designed for targeting larger fish like carp etc. The issues you experience with these style reels are discussed here with one of the older models'https://fishingmagic.com/forums/threads/abu-706-problems.162063/ Regards TackleUK'
