Sea Fishing Tackle Evaluation: Abu Garcia Soron STX60 Reel

18/01/2011 08:15

Over the years, I've acquired a large variety of sea fishing tackle. And yet don't you find it odd I always find myself reaching for exactly the same couple of rods and reels every time, despite the actual number of others I've got? If you're at all like me, then you delight in seeking top quality fishing products almost as much as the actual fish themselves. Whenever I'm not out standing on a windswept seashore, casting hopefully in the surf, you can be assured I am searching brochures and especially the internet for tackle which will enhance my potential for successfulness. One of my most favourite sea fishing reels is the Abu Garcia Soron STX60, and I would really like to present my thoughts on this outstanding piece of fishing tackle.

Major Features of the Abu Garcia Soron STX60 Sea Fishing Reel

While I typically tend not to pay attention to a reel's appearance, I truly do have to suggest that this reel's azure surface finish is pretty stylish, yet intended to reject both deterioration and usage. The paint is fairly dense and rubberised, something which I'm sure can help the fishing reel remain perfect, in spite of contact with the wind, sun as well as surf. It also definitely seems to be particularly chip and abrasion resistant. Abu promotes this as being a "tough" fishing reel, and thus far, it has lived up to this claim. I happen to be hard on my fishing gear, and the Soron STX80 definitely can take it! The reel is constructed from an aluminium alloy named X-Craftic™, which is amazingly lightweight and resistant to rust. The Soron STX60 additionally boasts Abu's infamous Carbon Matrix® drag system that's extremely smooth and reliable, without any of the grabbing I've felt from drag systems found on other reels. The clutch effortlessly handles even the hugest fish and even the most most difficult snag, one more feature I appreciate.

More Details On the Abu Soron STX60 Reel

The handle on this fishing reel is a one-piece, secure, screw-in style which shifts very easily for right- or left-handed retrieve. The STX60 possesses a substantial feel, primarily because of the superior structure as well as the 11 HPCR® bearings. HPCR stands for "high precision corrosion resistant." Likewise contributing to the reel's secure feel would be the Duragear™ gearing system that is made from heavy-duty brass which is highly resistant against oxidation. The gears supply exceptional smoothness for the cast and retrieve. Another major aspect of this reel is Abu's proprietary SuperLine™ spool system which minimizes spool slip in case you are employing superline. The fishing reel features a stainless steel main shaft, Abu's dependable Everlast™ bail system, as well as quick anti-reverse.

In Abu's words: "We refuse to compromise on how we design, build and perfect Abu Garcia precision equipment. That's why decades of experience and obsession for detail are the hallmarks of Abu Garcia." I couldn't be in agreement more, and am glad to offer the STX60 a prominent place inside my sea fishing tackle box, and a rating: 4.5 of a potential 5 stars.
