Re: PRO @ CON ON SHIMANO CORSAIR

A word about the Corsair. Don't buy it. The anti-reverse on them is crap. It WILL go out. Shimano is replacing all Corsairs on the market for free. They know there is a problem with them and doing something about at least. You would be better off with an Abu. The difference in the 300 and 400 reels in the spool capabilty and frame size. 300 is a medium size, 400 is muskie size. Search the discussion forum at muskiecentral.com, use keyword Corsair. Many negative posts!<br />Dman

I agree with Dman. In that price range, Abu-Garcia is the way to go. If you want to spend more, higher-end Shimanos are excellent reels.
