Location: Ames, Iowa | I am looking for a new rod and reel for my oldest son for Christmas. He uses one 7'6" Scheel's rod with a 6501C3. He throws a lot of bucktails. He'd like to throw more cranks and jerk baits. I'm an ABU guy, and take them apart for cleaning and minor replacement. But I would entertain any suggestions for a great high speed jerkbait reel. I'd put the real money into the reel, and get a great rod at the right price or let him buy his own rod. Looked at a Revo Toro Beast 6.2 online at $330. 6501 C4 in high speed was $180. Are these ABUs still made in Sweden? That's important to me. Suggestions? |
