U.S. Reel Baitcasters?

Anybody use these? They have a very attractive price point, but I've been burned by cheap gear in the past.

The 600 series got mediocre ratings at Cabela's HSOforum with some defects and shortcomings noted.

The 800 series was highly rated and had compliments from the reviewers.

They are on sale right now, but both ratings were subject to low sample size (2-3 each).

Hiya -

Abu Garcia is closing out their current model Revo series reels in advance of iCAST. Look around a little and you can find a Revo S for $99. Great reel for the money...

RK makes a good point. My buddy just picked up a revo SX for like 140 and i was fiddling with it. Very smooth reel. I found last years shimano citica e on sale at blaine gander for 90.00. Best reel under 150.00 I've ever used. The guy said forest lake gander had 11 in stock last friday. Also the daiwa exceler is a nice reel sub 100.00. I don't own a us reel but have tossed a friends and neither of us was impressed. There are better sub 100.00 reels out there. I do own a revo S that RK is talking about and they are very nice but would pick the shimano citica over it.
