I have two of these and I really like the way they feel and work. Like many others, I have experienced the thumb bar sticking in one of my STX's. It will not release sometimes and this makes for some anxious moments. Overall, I really like the reels.
I would recommend this to a friend!

First time I used it and I almost threw it was so light. With a micro guide veritas 7foot MH it is a extension of your arm. The micro guides help casting distance.
Cast and feels great, Thumb bar sticking after two trips

This reel looks, feels, and cast great, but the thumb bar is sticking after 2 trips. The Casting and smothness is really incredible but, I purchased this a few weeks ago and I am really disappointed in the quality control Abu Garcia has been having the last few years. I am a dedicated Abu fisherman but this is a huge disappointment. I bought this reel in the new 8.1:1 gearing and was really looking forward to putting this reel to the test, but that opportunity hasn't presented itself, due to the failure. This makes me worry about the direction Abu Garcia is going with the manufacturing of high end reels in the asian markets.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been using ABU GARICA reels since I was 15 years old in 1970. My first was a Abu 5000 that my Dad gave me which I still own today. I have used other reels before but keep going back to the ABU GARCIA line and now that is all I use. I have 5000's, 5500's, 6000's, 6500's, Black Max's, Silver Max's, Revo S, Revo SX, Revo STX and will not use any thing else. All these reels still work like new and some are as old as 1970 so if you want the best you will buy only from ABU GARCIA.
