Its time to upgrade my old abu conventional.

Anyone got anything decent gathering dust? Looking to spend in the ~$140-160 range.

Gonna be for eels and plugs... on a 10' rod.
Levelwind preferred but not critical.

Mike had those new 7000i, it is buttah smooth. I love mine...

yeah
I shot him a PM... when I was in there a few weeks ago it looked like he only had the 1 bearing model...

The 3 bearing was the one I was eyeballing.

Anyone know anything about the Tekota's?
