Product reviews of Abu Garcia Cardinal 170SWi Series Reel
Zach : Grate reel for heavier lures
Grate reel for lures on the heavier side , has trouble casting small lures more than 5 meaters , a lovely touch with the extra spool , the best spinning reel out thair for the money 100%
PaulB : Great product for the money
I’ve been buying Abu Garcia products for years based upon their attention to detail & by an large, their performance. This latest acquisition doesn’t disappoint. It has the action of a reel costing twice as much & compliments the Abu Garcia Devil Spinning rod that I purchased with it.
Adrian T. : ... did email no reply wanted replacement under guarantee not happy
Broken cheap spool arm did email no reply wanted replacement under guarantee not happy
LRC : Complete Newbie to fishing - My first reel, and love it!
I am a complete newbie to fishing, I tried it last year with some friends gear under close supervision, casting off rocks into the sea, spinning for whatever would bite and I loved it. So I decided to buy some gear of my own. You read endless reviews of gear, especially regarding Reel's, and I personally became baffled by the number of products out there. I didn't want to spend a fortune, as I have as much chance of breaking, and loosing it as anything, and would be devastated if it had cost me hundreds of pounds.
I took on a lot of advice from fishing shops too, and was worried that they would just try and rip me off as I was so unsure of what I needed. Nearly all of them showed me Abu Garcia reels and rods, and sang there praises and I have to say they were all very helpful. So I purchased my Abu Garcia Cardinal Reel 6 months ago now and I have to say it is great. (not purchased via amazon, but I found the reviews on here very helpful, which is why I am writing this).
It is a great light, but strong reel, and very easy to use, it runs very smoothly and comes complete with a spare spool, so I have mine set up with two different strengths of line, as one place we go fishing is quite thick with kelp, and I was always snapping my line when I got caught up on it. The reel has dealt with everything I have thrown at it with ease, even though my lighter line didn't but as they say you live and learn, I have caught Pollack, mackerel and this weekend coalfish, my new favourite hobby is now sea/rock fishing.
When I fist set up my reel it was a learning curve, more because I am such a novice. Once or twice I got myself into a big birds nest of a mess with my line, firstly because I had overloaded the spool, and second it was a heavy line and I had not spun it on under much tension, and the line had apparently 'kept a memory' and had gone onto my reel all twisted. Now that's all sorted It's fab. None of those problems were caused by the reel, just me, and it has stood up to my bumblings and errors with ease. It is very smooth to reel in, and casting is easy, I have used the brake just once, and now I have got my head around the drag it is working fantastically. A great reel at a great price, and perfect for me in every way, I would definitely recommend, especially if like me you are just setting out into the world of fishing.

Client d'Amazon : Abu Garcia, la technologie suédoise
Bon moulinet, livré avec une deuxième bobine, dans son carton d'origine. Seul bémol, le moulinet est un peu lourd, mais adaptés à une pêche en étang et en rivière
