Water damage can happen when you least expect it

The venerable Abu Garcia C3 round baitcasting reels have undergone a slow transformation over the decadesand while each new model retains its proven, bulletproof power and performance, it also adds carefully considered touches that make it stronger, lighter, more efficient, and smoother

I do own one or two of them that were bought before this large batch of them, and they have treated me very well

Zip down the frame screws until they seat, then cinch then down a little extra until they are snug

Of course, your reel is 50-percent of the equation as well, but this rod does an excellent job when fishing in unfriendly casting conditions
