broke the level wind on my 6600 doing stupid fisherman tricks. i sent the reel back to abu asking how much it would cost to fix. 5 days later, a new 6600 at the door. still made in sweden, by the way.
a hint regarding leaky waders. plumbers or marine goop works wonders. especially on the seems where it seems all the good ones leak. happy holidays from deep hole. ed
