On another note, I took back the Abu Garcia bait caster to the store,
it sucked. It wanted 8-17 pound test line, but would not even adjust
enough drag for 4 pound. Tried two of them, finally gave up. I will
keep looking but I did get an old one I had rebuilt. It works ok, but
I still prefer my little spinning rods.

My wife bought a Garcia on sale that did the same thing.

Check out one of these...

They're smooth and durable.

I didn't like them. Most of my bait casters are Quantum which I like
a lot. The sole exception is a top end Shakespeare.
