About Abu Garcia
Originally a watch factory, Abu Garcia was founded in Svangsta, Sweden, near the Morrum River in 1921. Founder Carl August Borgstrom was a clever craftsman with a talent for light precision engineering. The company originally manufactured pocket watches, telephone timers, and taxi meters until World War II, when the demand for taxi meters sharply declined. Undaunted, Abu Garcia redirected its skills toward the development of precision fishing reels, eventually receiving the honor of being chosen "Purveyor to the Royal Swedish Court"--a distinction bestowed upon a select group of manufacturers who consistently exceeded the court's high standards of quality and craftsmanship. Abu Garcia remains firmly committed to maintaining its industry leadership position by providing anglers everywhere with the highest-quality, most-innovative products.

Outstanding buy on a quality rod a reel combo. Use with cajun 17lb test line and the casting is excellent. Getting the always fast Amazon free shipping and no tax makes the buy even better. This combo is best used with 3/8oz lures/baits and larger. For smaller baits use a spinning combo.

Great price on the combo. Was just looking for the reel but saw the combo and couldn't really pass up what was essentially a free rod. Reel is very smooth operating and rod seems like a pretty good rod, a little on the stiff side but good nonetheless.
