There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My guess is that Abu Garcia has discovered a cheaper way to manufacture these rods and the quality is suffering greatly. You have to realize they have hundreds of positive reviews from when the poles were fantastic. These new poles and their negative reviews likely won't be seen and that is a shame because folks need to know about this.
To say I am disappointed with Abu Garcia is an understatement. I have numerous bit of gear from them over the years and had been more than happy with the quality. I hope this downturn in quality doesn't exist across all their product lines.
Obviously I cannot recommend this combo and in fact would warn folks to NOT purchase it.
