Product reviews of Abu Garcia Cardinal 170SWi Series Reel

NE : so far good, happy with the product

PeterElliott : What you would expect from Abu,, though spare ...

What you would expect from Abu, although this is my first FS from Abu ,, I own many (too many) of their multipliers. I like the build quality , though spare reel is not aluminum , but plastic , I ordered the 177 SW1 but think it's a bit big for my 10' bass rod , I was unsure as to what actual size it was and if i was purely spinning I would go for 176 , bit smaller. But its good quality and value for money .

Jono : Four Stars

Good reel

Mr M A Hammond : Nice back-up reel

Not quite the Abu of old, but nice reel to have in the armoury as a back-up tool. Good value / good quality.

gb : No idea

It was a present, the receiver was pleased with it and has used it so it must be ok.

Harrie : Five Stars

not used it yet but like all Abu stuff I have bought in the past the quality is good

I've used abu in the past and can't fault their quality or build.. this was a new replacement for an old abu and I can't fault it! Winds in fast and casts with no issues whatsoever.

Rexler : Abu Garcia cardinal 170SWi

I bought this for my son for his B-Day. He tells me that the reel is working well and has caught a few fish on it and has no problems. I saw other reviews of the reel and had gotten it from that. Make sure you know when buying these the Reel and the pole match.
