ABU Cardinal 177 SWI

I was bought one of these as a gift and It seems to be a lovely, solid and smooth reel for small money. Haven't had fish on it yet but it casts well and didn't struggle at all hauling some big clumps of weed.
If it keeps performing well, I'll be adding a smaller size one to the Arsenal too. Has anyone put one of these through its paces over a couple of seasons ?

I have mine over 2 years, still going strong.
Nothing has ever gone wrong with it.

Good to hear another good one in the collection so

it's grand, I'm strictly catch and release with the weed. It's always unhooked properly and released safely.

I use the freshwater version luring for Pike and it's a very good reel.
