I think what he actually meant were the Abu 54/55/57 series. Never heard a single complaint concerning the reliability of their freespool facility. In all seriousness, they will never be beaten for build quality. And, if you ever require parts, there still appears to be loads about, which can't be said for the earlier Shimano models. The Swedes and the Japs have a completely opposed mindset regarding consumer goods.
 
Thanks guys for all your replys. I will be sure to take my Shimano 3500 with me incase the Fox dies on the bank. Only need them for a few weeks so should be ok. I got a DL4000FA last week cute reel maybe a bit heavy in weight .
