abu soron and cardinal 802

[nuggman]

any one had a play with any of these two.

[crusty]

I have a cardinal 802, solid reel, great drag, a little larger than a daiwa 2000 (which is what i generally use for bream), about shimano 2500 size.
Feels a bit rougher than my Daiwa advantage or Sols. Much better reel than Excellors (but I only have the older excellor) and the bail roller bearing makes a little noise under pressure but still turns.
All in all a great reel for the money.

my brother has a abu soron stx20 not bad reels it is still in good condition and he has had it for about 2-3 years
