2nd issue.I'm just flat out tired of sending dollars to overseas, "I make $250 a month" plants that install nets to keep their employees from leaping off the roof. I know it sounds minor but by adding nearly 1/2" an inch to the length of the boss (placing the handle that much further from the chassis) the reel becomes out of balance in any normal fishing situation. First is the location of the 1 way bearing in the handle boss.

I have only one issue with the Chinese "I" series.scratch that, 2 issues.

Once the word was out this series was every bit the equal to the "Made in Sweden" (if not a touch better) the dollars started rising damn quick. In the beginning folks shunned them since they weren't made by elves of the far north. Proof? Take a gander at the prices over the last few years. By a large margin the "loosest" and fastest casting (out of the box) Abu 7000 series IMHO has been the "Assembled in Sweden" variety. You have to 's the same Abu gear heads that pop in on these questions.
