Hi
I said that about the reel being a line holder because that's the first thing I would have been reading in reply. I just wanted to nip that talk before it got started. Many people feel that way, and I guess in a way, they can be right.
Thanks

I should amend my earlier post where I stated I never had any problems with CFO or Battenkill reel. about two years ago I picked up an Asian - made CFO on sale . didn't check to see where it was made and found out when I returned it that it was made in the Far East. what a piece of junk. broke on my second outing. When I took it back to Orvis,I was informed they had a lot of problems with this reel. Makes me wonder whether the current series of CFO's made by Abel wasn't an attempt to restore confidence in the venerable CFO line.
best,
steve
