abu garcia 170i spincast reel Red Abu-Matic 170 Closed Face Spin Casting For Sale but with more power than you might think Awesome Vintage Abu Garcia Abu-Matic

I start with a 3/8-ounce jig and will go up to as much as an ounce to penetrate the predominant cover

The higher the number, the more line is retrieved with the same amount of work

The advantage of such a design is that the reel is direct-driven, and during casting the line release is as smooth as that of a spinning reel, but it does require an extra hand movement to start reeling

Any aggressive fish will strike at the bait as it passes down

If it has been exposed to saltwater, the spool should be removed and the entire reel rinsed in fresh water

These sizes are versatile enough to be fished in a variety of depths and situations, from shallow flats to deeper channels
