The abus have a habit of s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g when wet. That being said, why is it that a lot of guys still fish with them: because, ironically, they are dependable reels in the surf. They're also great casting reels, and very easy to work on. The guys who don't use them figure that the one thing they don't want to compromise is the drag. Makes sense. If you fish with abus you will develop a love/hate relationship with them. You will also get very fast at breaking them down. Better buy two. Some guys love these reels, others use them for bank sinkers; it really all depends on who your talking to.
