Abu Garcia Record RCN60

The Record is a welcomed addition to Abu Garcia's lineup of quality fishing reels. The record features some major advancements which make this reel appealing to a wide variety of anglers.

The Record's body is comprised of stainless steel and brass for durability and dependability. The Record also incorporates a larger diameter, vented aluminum spool for delivering enhanced casting and smooth performance.

Weighing in at 12.9 ounces, the reel has the potential for hours of nearly effortless casting ability. Though not the lightest bait-caster on the market, the Record handled well and performed within the scope of my high expectations.

Abu Garcia promotes the Record as the smoothest and longest casting reel that they have ever built. While I haven't tried all of their reels, I can attest to the fact that it is indeed a smooth operator with excellent casting ability. It handled my musky lures, no problem, and delivered them with style and distance.

The reel possesses an excellent drag system which operates smoothly and efficiently in conjunction with their patented Sensi-Brake system. The Record also incorporates a line alarm for live bait fisherman, further adding to it's appeal.

The RCN60 delivers a 5.3:1 gear ratio which makes it well adapted to situations where you want a dependable slower retrieving reel. As you would expect from Abu Garcia, the Record looks sharp and operates flawlessly.

If you plan on using any reels during extreme low temp conditions, I would suggest that you have a professional properly pack your reels with a low temp lubricant. Doing so will greatly increase your reel performance and minimize any associated internal icing problems.
