was in the pelangi utama area for a friend's daughter's birthday party
contemplated getting the ABU C4 blue/C5 green reels
but they did not seem to be in good condition
saw an alphas 103 the last time i was there a month ago
took the bull by the horns and ...
wanted this ever since i saw one of my sifu's left crank version and looked it up on Tackletour and reading the review and seeing the pictures
finally in hand after some years
it is highly unfortunate the original REVO INS Inshore low profile baitcasting reel is no longer in production ... just don't make 'em like they used to
and i didn't get an extra unit ! *sighhhh*
and the latest version has yet to arrive *double sighhh*
have yet to get a shimano/daiwa LPBC despite wanting to try one
pricing is relatively higher and the above is a keeper
too many versions is another issue
a friend suggested the zillion PE but it's way beyond my busted budget
hope another friend's used antares II is still available
settled for something close, familiar, reliable as always and definitely more affordable, ie value for money
service/lubricating port near bottom right ... rectangular piece at bottom of gearbox
need to go elsewhere if i'm to get the C4/C5 for my collection ...
