Why would you buy a 5th reel if the other 4 failed??? Seems like a dumb thing to do if you ask me.
As for quality of abu's products mine is going on it's 6th season of heavy bank fishing and hasn't had a problem yet. If you take care of your reel, don' throw it in the sand and maybe clean and oil it once in awhile then it would probably hold up alot better regardless of who makes it.
