Thumbs up gotta love abu's

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

put them back alive. i do have grandkids.
