How to Dismantle an Abu Garcia Reel
Abu Garcia reels come in a variety of types. Spinning, fly, bait and spin-casters round out the company's reel lines. There may be times when the disassembly of your reel is necessary. The process is a basic one to follow and is used for any of the company's reel styles. Prior to breaking down the reel, cut off the lure from the line and reel the line all the way onto the spool.
