Entry level spinning reel for jigging

[Shamrocker]

Anyone have any feed back on the performance and durability of these reels?

I have had min for three years now and its performed flawlessly. all kinds of fish all the way up to tuna. make sure you grease the stock drags or get carbontex and you will be all set. Just fyi the cabo 60 holds exactly the same amount of pe 5/6 as the stella 8000fa.

the paint will chip a bit but it hasn't corroded or become too ugly. actually it will scuff and it has 6 layers of paint so you will see the undercoats. it never reaches metal though.
I had a cabo 80 and it wasnt the same quality. that being said the 60 is rock solid and has a great gear ratio for jigging.
