I don't know why Abu stopped making this reel.

- They still make them... now it's called the Penn Conquer. It's hard enough to find spinning reels with both a metal body and rotor, but the conquer is all aluminum, even the roller arm... the vast majority are plastic. Should help smooth out the drag. Some of the larger models have as many as 4 drag washers.
