Garcia is tons better than Daiwa

Abu's Always
Started in early 80's with 521's....then C3's....C4's....Revo's..... MOST all have been bullet proof except for the main gear failure twice on the round blue model C4. I thought the handle was loose. Nope - Both were replaced w/o charge. All Abu baitcasters are EZ to clean and cast a mile "WHEN" properly lubed. NONE of my reels are above 7.1 & I think that was the Revo SX. Most are 6.2 or less. I'd NEVER purchase a high speed reel 9 something & up. You have ZERO torque cranking in a fish. The pro's use them cause they can for FREE. I'm on the water 150 + days a year.
I've posted on here several times about trading old Abu reels in for 45% off retail on NEW ABU GARCIA REELS. Go to Pure Fishing web site or I'm sure there's an old post of mine that shows the info.

Never knew that. I'll have to check it out. I have "a few" older Abus.Originally Posted by F16ENGMGR

Both are by far my 2 favorite reels. I love my Daiwa vinteo's and tierras for bass and even for top water Stripers at Lake Cumberland. Never had any issues with them. I love my Garcia 6500 C3's for river cat fishing and Striper fishing with live bait or trolling. I have never had a problem with either of these reels. I also use small size Daiwa spinning reels for crappie and catching bait fish. They are a lot better than the Shimonoe's that I used to use years back. You have to pay for good equipment to have good equipment. That's my story anyway.

Abu, cause Daiwa just feels too much to me like "da wee", and I don't ever want to be called that again, even by my fishging rod vendor.
