Even Abu Garcia can misfire


The first time I bought Abu Garcia Cardinal 801 spinning reel (on 7 Apr 2007) at RM200 I felt so proud. It was by far the most expensive reel I ever purchased. So, like taking care of the new born baby I pored through every aspect to admire the craftsmanship. Before long I came to notice a bad screwing of the anti-reverse button; as you can see in the picture the screw ran out of place and spoilt the groove.

I brought back to the shop and luckily the owner promptly changed for me a new one with no qualm. So next time when you by a Abu Garcia spinning reel which was Made in China, do have a detail look of it before leaving the shop. Don’t be blinded by the glares of the golden Abu Garcia tag.
