my cheep reel horror story started off as a kid , i worked all summer bailing hay in maine .it's hard enough for a grown up , i was just a kid then .
when i got paid for my work i went into town and bought a reel from the zares store , an abu garcia , model ? i'm not sure , but it was a blue plastic thing that looked like it was pretty sturdy .
second day fishing with the thing i set the hook on a big fish and the reels suport stem snapped right off the base .
the store didn't have a replace or refund policy at that time . i've never bought or concidered
an abu garcia since .
