Abu Garcia Cardinal 602 and C3 models?

[Woodrow]

I have been looking for some inexpensive gear for fishing reds, trout, and flounder.

I want to have a least I baitcaster and one spinning reel. I have always liked Abu's C3 series for freshwater and like the looks of their Cardinal 602. Will they hold up in saltwter?

Thanks

the C3 will hold up fine, Dont know much about the 602 though

602 only holds 175 yds of 6 lb. test. I'd look for something larger. Take a look here:

When you go to checkout, use coupon code 20pct to get an additional 20% off the already discounted price. $72.88 - 20% = $58.30 The 20% off is good until August 6th. I know this is a "Factory Reconditioned" reel, but I have one of the new ones, and it's a GREAT reel. The 20% off applies to any purchase over $40.00

If you still want the 602, they have those on there also...$45.88 plus 20% off = $36.80
