I was wondering if anyone has used the new Abu Garcia reels yet? I realize these are not the smoothest of reels on the market, but I have had one for 3 years now, and it still performs well. My understanding is that one of the major concerns with the old models was the drag, I believe they have since re-designed them. I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on the 5600 C4 series, or the new 5600 winch series, or the D6 series. Also I will be using this reel primarily and nearly exclusively for Swimbait fishing. Thank you for any help!

There will be a review for the D6 up on this site in the next week or so...

Nico thanks for the reply! Can't wait for the review. They hold true here and always generate other feedback, much respected. Thanks again!
