OK -- Clue me in on how you weight the slugo. nail? slugo weight? Just curious as I am a live eel user and cannot afford the damn things with the price of gas.
PM me if you are worried about getting in trouble or starting a revolution!

Thanks

Thumbs up

i have been using the cabo 60 pt for 2 seasons now, i love the reel, drag is sweet when hooked into nice fish. i have replaced the reel once, i had an older model and the 50 lb braid i use was cutting into the bail near the roller, i sent it back and had a new reel within the week. this was over the winter but i was very pleased with the customer service. i have convinced 3 of my best fishing buds to use quantum and they love the reels, both the boca and cabo

Bails close when the reel is buttery smooth.To offset this kast wit the handle in the down position.When the handle is up an u snap a kast the handle naturally swings down from gravity an close's the bail.
