I like it. I will get one. But, the trout I catch will still spool me.

WD-40 works great to REMOVE OIL.

It's ok JT, just keep trying! I'm sure it's not the reel.

I need to go buy some of the old Abus and keep them in the box for the next 10 years. Abu must have had to change their reels so their costomers would have to buy more reels in a shorter time period.

And I do use 3 in 1 oil on my Abus it works very well and smells good. Kinda sweet.

You have to stop using 2lb test and a snoopy rod.
