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.

This review is from: Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Record Baitcast Round Reel (6 Ball-Bearing, Gear Ratio 6.3:1, Capacity 10/105) (Sports)

I fish a lot of top water and this thing performed like a DREAM! Never once gave me a problem and I throw a lot of 3/8oz plugs. Drag stays set, reel is smooth as silk. You can pay a LOT more for a reel but you can't touch this quality/performance/value. Gonna get me a spare so I got 2 ready to go. Some of the newer design reels look real pretty, but try taking those rascals apart for oiling/greasing! This ones a snap, "old school" no doubt but "when it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
