| new reel got me self a new reel yesterday (yes another 1) this time its a diawa 7ht, 2nd hand for £30 well used on the outside but well looked after on the inside had a quick play with it yesterday but it was abit windy to put it through its paces properly seems like a very nice reel on the subject of reels i am after some advice, what with xmas coming up and everything i want a new reel for under the tree i have narrowed it down to 2 reels, either the abu 6500 mag elite or the sports mag dont have a clue which 1 to go for, atm its the mag elite because it has a clicker whats every1 else's view on the 2 reels? __________________ Bens The Name And Catchings The Game Anti the Anti's     |

| Re: new reel sounds good, i was gonna go for the green 1s though just because my tackle gets used and abused and it wouldnt stay looking nice for more than 3 sessions and the green 1 is less likely to show it i think __________________ Bens The Name And Catchings The Game Anti the Anti's |

| Re: new reel any reel of the reels r good i would go for the sports mag just n the principle not everyone has it everyone has mag elites, me i have 2 mag elites one green one orange and also sports mag, out of choice iw would go for sports mag as stated all perform exactly the same |

| Re: new reel I had the sports mag Ben and on the first outing the rotary mag adjuster came off in me hand so took it back and got the green mag elite, cant fault it. |

| Re: new reel the mag adjuster was a konwn fault to abu but have now replaced the crappy chrome adjusters with black ones that r reinforced, believe me they do not break easirly, everyone i no uses a sports mag and never had a problem |
