Abu Soron Spin Reel
Submitted by Colin Hay on Fri, 2008-09-12 11:13
Has anyone seen one of these reels or heard any reports?
I have just been having a look at the technical specifications and they look pretty good, including:
"• 11 HPCR Bearings (with Instant Anti-Reverse) for Corrosion Resistance
• Sealed Carbon Matrix™ Drag System for Ultra Smooth Drag"
I am interested to hear if they are as good as some of the Berkley people are saying and what sort of price range they come in.
All the best, Colin Hay

I would like some serious advice on one of these reels thanks
I don't think we need to get into a bunfight over this.
I just want to know if these reels are any good.
Many thanks, Colin Hay

Fin Nor AHAB
The Fin Nor Ahab actually look good too. Bit more refined than the offshore, with infinite anti-reverse, and look great too!

Thanks Brett
Solid looking reel. I have had a look at a few Fin Nor's. Very good value.
