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.

Did you know it has no division? It's more than 2 meters tall and only one piece. How I supposed to travel with? No way. I returned it. Amazon, please inform it!

I've been using this combo (2 of them) for 3 months and they seem to work pretty good. No shuttering, easy casting, and sufficient drag for the 20# test I use. I've caught Fluke up-to 24" with this rod, and it did pretty well. The crank is kind of small for my hands, but what do you expect for such a small reel?

Overall, the drag is smooth under heavy pressure, and the reel casts easily, even for beginners. The reel comes apart easily for cleaning/greasing like all Abu reels, and I would trust this reel mechanically to hold up for an even larger fish.
The rod is decent as well, and provides light to medium action. The graphite blank distributes pressure well throughout the rod, and the cork grips stay nice even in the raid and cold.

Enjoy this inexpensive and effective combo

I bought this fishing rod for my husband as a Valentine's gift and he loves it. Within an hour or so of fishing with it for the first time he got the hang of fishing with a bait cast rod. Now with practice, he says that "birdnesting" does not occur as much anymore. He is now looking to purchase another rod from this same brand because he liked it so much.
