I expected this to cause at least a lack of smoothness (grindiness) a couple of days afterwards, as indeed I would expect on many of the more expensive spinning reels which dont handle salt water ingress very well, but I am rather happy to report that this ABU Superior 3000SH continues on its merry way every bit as nice as it was straight out of the box back in February (if my spinning reel gets properly splashed or dunked then I take it off the rod and give it a proper wash in freshwater - I simply tighten the drag right down, immerse it fully in a sink of warm water, turn the reel handle say thirty times, shake the reel off, loosen the drag off and let it drip-dry, I have saved a number of spinning reels like this and I know the tackle companies would say its the wrong thing to do but it works)

This drag system is simply phenomenal, providing an incredible amount of raw power and stopping force when needed

I've paired these rods with the Shimano Sahara 4000 series spinning reels which have large capacity spools and hold plenty of PLine CX 15 lb Premium line

This creates friction that can limit the length of a cast

I have #12 and #14 Mustad red trebles in my box by the hundreds
