Abu Garcia Spinning Reels

Spinning reels?

i have an abu garcia cardial 400 series and i love it.
when i am fishing with my friends we have the same size poles but differnt line and reel setups

You have a good reel, I used to own one (older model) for years and years until some very large trout in the San Juan river caused it to break. I repaired it and kept using it for a while after that, but it kept needing constant repair and attention. for some reason I did a lot of research on reels, and ended up switching to Shimano on my next purchase, and have bought another since then (larger for heavier fishing) I love them both, but still think about the old Cardinal and have even thought about acquiring another from time to time. 30# test power pro is equivalent to 8# mono, that’s why you are able to cast so far (plus the open faced design of the spinning reel).
For the money, the Cardinal is probably just as good as the Shimanos, but good machining, balance, and bearings make up a good reel (per your question)
