From: Brian: San Diego, CA 6/28/16 Comments: Best reel I've ever used, and I've been fishing tourneys since 1988, I used to use another brand, until they got bought out and went down hill from there, since then I've been searching for a another brand, there was a few I liked OK, but when I tried the Ardent tourney reel the smoothness and long cast you make blew the rest away

Brand: Abu Garcia
