Mike - I saw the reel and it looks great. BUT I understand that the reel has no bearings and is made with sleeves. I also saw the other new reels and from what I was told, the reels are all with sleeves now excepting the pro rocket, which is with bearings. If this is so, i don't think that Abu has stepped forward in my opinion. has Abu updated their web site so that we can check out the spec's?

New reels only come with 1 Roller bearing and 2 bushings. That is why I have offered the ceramic bearings as an installed option. Makes the reel faster and smoother.
