I have one 5000 Abu thats been to Canada Pike fishing once or twice a year for 20+ years. Its thrown thousands upon thousands of big spoons and big cranks. I have oiled the level wind a few times and changed the line a few times. Gorilla line. It just keeps on working year after year. Its one with just bushings. I have about ten Abu's. Thats about ten life times worth of reels. Lost track years ago of how many Pike I have landed with that reel. I have a new one just like it waiting for the old one to wear out. I afraid I will wear out long befoe it does.
