the abu's only been used once so you should be able to get it sold or a swap for summit better john

 

[John findley]

A don't know wether to keep it and take the level wind out and see it that will help speed it up or get a speed bullet or swap it thing is a wouldn't know what to swap for?

the anti-reverse bearing is the most likely culprit. either replace or clean out and re-oil! very simple engineering and once run-in almost bullet-proof.

take the 7 and your new info back to the shop john

2 year ago I sold my abu seven on ebay for 90 notes to a lad in s/land. I used the money to buy my saltist. I thought it was an ok reel me nowt specail but did the job. Thevlad tha bought it was over the moon. Carnt fault my saltist like pure awsome reel

Ive had a gmag 6 for a couple of months now and cant fault it.

I would also say (waiting for abuse here lol) that its as good as my 525 mag.

Cheers,

Lee

Bought a G-Mag 7 last year, as new £40, absolutely no complaints about it at all for that money, cheap quick change spare spool as well, all lined up and ready to go.

Take the seven back and ask for the g mag back

I have just bought an Abu 7000 and loaded with 30 lb line all the way through. Perfect reel for heavy ground fishing.
My main reels are a Penn mag 525 and an Abu 6500. These have 18lb line on. I would,nt run back with the Abu they are a good reel and very strong. I have an old one i bought off e-bay years ago which looks like its been in a hard time with no paint left on but still works perfect.

 

[big phil 123]

keep the abu yes there a bit slow and big but ideal for rough ground fishing it will pull the plug out i wouldnt use a greys for a sinker

 

[RL83]

up to you john to make the choice but in my opinion the greys is a good reel never had any bother at all with mine
i think it gets a really bad ride cause its not a BIG named reel so a lot of people
instantly think its rubbish but if they have used it and dont like it thats there opinion
stick with what you got as i dont think the lad at the tackle shop will give you another g-mag7 thinking about it now!
all the best john mate

one of the best reels on the market is a okuma magnetix cast mnt pull owt in

 

[John findley]

A think am gonna just keep it and maybe take the level wind out to try and speed it up and to stop the naughty noise when casting lol.

I have one also, bought cheap from a mate who wasn't impressed, I removed the levelwind and seems ok, feels solid enough and decent build quality but haven't had anything decent on the end of it to brag it up more.
