I have to admit that I do use my fishing equipment much more than the average fisherman. I get in at least some fishing almost every day and go as often as possible for as long as possible! I am curious about the 375's as they don't even say anything about them on Abu-Garcia's website. They may have made them "special" for Walmart? I have found the 475 at Decatur Bait and Tackle for the same price ($29.95) as Walmart charges for the 375.
Anyway, I was very disappointed to have a $60 reel break like that and so quickly. I wrote Abu-Garcia about it and they did respond. Now, only time will tell.
I did see a Daiwa that has similar features at Wiley's in Decatur. It was $56+, but I am waiting before I plunk down that much again on another reel.
Thanks for the input!!!
