Abu Garcia Beast Spinning Reels Abu Garcia Price Range $229.95 - $279.95 Built to handle the heaviest baits and the hardest-fighting fish, the Abu Garcia Beast Spinning Reel delivers unmatched cranking power, drag strength, and durability

So I had my drag locked down tight and showed no mercy to the fish, or to my equipment

But the tips not stiff enough to give it a broomstick feel, by any means
