woodch0p Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Been looking into a reel for my lox 1-3kg rod, have been looking around at a fair few reels, yesterday was in a tackle shop in my area and they had 50% off all their stock. Hiding down the bottom I noticed an abu soron stx10, and for $130 I could not resist! The reel is a little bit heavier then other brands in its class, but for that price with all the features I could not resist! Will strip it down over the next couple of days and suss it all out, one thing I noticed is its a 11 bearing reel, but only 8 on the exploded map of it, so guessing 3 are in the handle!

This is what Slinky had to say: http://www.fishraider.com.au/Invision/index.php?showtopic=48084 Cheers Hodgey Yeah I spoke to him about it, was initially going to get the stx20 but his comment on the weight made me change my choice. I had other options but this was a steal. Abu are top reels I own some old school cardinals and ambassaduers and they are still doing their job, just a shame the prices didn't drop a lot when manufacturing moved to china. Can't wait to test the rod and reel out (still haven't cristened the rod!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
