1. I love the ABU reels. IMO, nothing touches the combo of price and quality. I use 5500's for steelhead and salmon, though a 6500 may be a bit better for kings, or pulling plugs.

2. Where's this 2fer1 sale?

Todd,

I agree with you on the quality of Abu-Garcia baitcasting reels. I own an Ultracast, CD4, and Morrum which are all great reels - especially the Morrum.

The buy one get one free deal is a promotion directly from Abu-Garcia. There is actually a $9.95 shipping and handling fee per reel (nothing's free). Here's the URL for the offer where you can also download the coupon: http://www.abu-garcia.com/Promotions/Buy1Get1Free.cfm

Also, here's an excerpt from the page referenced above.

Buy One AB (anti-backlash casting) or CD (center drag spinning) Reel and Get A Second Reel FREE!
That's right . . . . . . for a limited time, when you purchase an Abu Garcia AB casting or CD spinning reel, you can get a SECOND REEL FREE* .

Just pick-up one of these great Abu Garcia reels and the coupon at your favorite tackle dealer (coupons can be downloaded below if your dealer runs out). Return the coupon, your cash register receipt and product UPC code (plus $9.95 S&H per reel) to Abu Garcia and we'll send you a second reel of the same type FREE!

Offer expires April 30th, 2001. Ask your dealer and check official coupon for complete details. Quantities may be limited.

Don't miss out on this great offer! Check out an AB or CD at your nearest retailer today!

*$9.95 shipping and handling fee per reel is required
