Line Capacity is not at all the same as the specifications say. I managed to get 120m of .35 J-Braid on. and then its really full. Otherwise great real.

To add: rod- Megabass Valkyrie WE VKC-78H, lures: MB Vatalion, Fish Arrow Glide Jack 180, Gan Craft
Jointed Claw 178Ss, DRT Klash 9.

After long thinking as a Shimano JDM fanatic I bought an Abu as it is less than half the price and has a higher drag. For this price it is an absolute steal. I used one for a month now as a wading fisherman between -2C and 14C, it has been ‘baptised’ a few times when unhooking pike in the water. It has seen 6 pikes and the slip was reliable even though I was a bit worried that under those wet and freezing conditions it wouldn’t start immediately but it did, bravo! The only reason I give it 4/5 is because there is some play, but on the other hand: only my JDM Shimano’s are absolutely play-free but double-triple the price. The good thing is that I can cast with full force without creating a professional overrun while with Shimano I always have to cast in a calm manner while a forceful cast can result in an overrun. All in all a nice caster and the drag (I didn’t use max settings) prooved to be reliable under freezing conditions while having been under water for a moment
