Salsa uses mono. Im not doggn abu fellas..I got 20 of em and like em a lot but they do break. I got 4 in a bucket that need to go to southwest for repairs from this years fishing. C3 6500 are the standard in catfishing and get the job done no doubt but the tekotas are just tougher built all the way around. Hey don't be doggn My Abus EG!!!...oh sorry nevermind..LOL!!  I definitely don't use mine often cause they are still running great..

Usually what bust an Abu off the reel seat is wrapping the line around the reel to pull it when it is hung up. Chris(Catman)Watson is the one who showed me the trick long ago and Salsa has gone and fished with him on Richland Chambers. I've broke a few over the years in such a manner but never broke one in normal use. I'm sure a Tekota which cost about twice what an Abu does is somewhat better, that along with Pure Fishing cutting corners in the manufacturing. At least that is my opinion of over 40 years of using Abu's. Poor folks have poor ways.
