I always like the couple I had. But, mine were stolen years back on the rods I had built. Can't replace them (including the memories).

I just won one on ebay today. A big whopping $40. I love it when they list it in the wrong spot. Guy is probably doing this right about now

I never had a problem with them, not as nice as some of the current reels out there, but a workhorse for the old reels. But, I always liked the old ABU's. They're my prefered reel.
