Tackle Testers Rated This Reel 9.6
 When we got our first look at Abu Garcia's C500ALBi series spinning reels, we knew we liked them. They felt solid, with a good multi-disc drag, and just fit nicely in the hand.
But we were more interested in what our tackle testers had to say, so we gave each of them a new C503ALBi, asked them to fish 'em hard and report back with their frank opinions.
Results were overwhelming—a 9.6 out of 10 rating! Overall, they liked the reel's durability and reported that casting was smooth and easy. They also gave the $69.95 msrp a 100% approval rating. Here's what a couple of them told us:
"This reel looks great, functions well and is easy to use. It's a perfect fit for my 7-foot drop-shot rod."
"I love this reel. It's very durable and can handle heavy tackle easily. It performs well in saltwater, too." |
