Ha!

I used to use the OLD cardinal reels for Steel head trout fishing.
Made by ABU Garcia in Sweden.

All brass gears. These reels were tough!
They are still in demand

I bought 3 Cardinals last year from Cabellas. Grandkids needed new ones and the reels were on sale.

Great reels I liked the smaller 308
==================================================================
Great ultra-light reel for mountain stream trout. I still have the, I think it was called the '408'. It was
the same size but dark blue in color but supposedly made in France with a high speed retrieve. Mounted
on a 4 1/2 Fenwick rod & using only 2 or 4 lb. test , I've had years of fun pulling trout of mountain streams.

No , the 408 looked exactly like the 308 except it was blue & had different gears
for a smoother & faster retrieve.

This Pinnacle Inertia Finesse ISP10 has been doing it for me this season. Planted to a 7' Abu Garcia Ambassaduer rod, it will cast a country mile. Love the baitcasters although there can be quite a learning curve to each reel.
