6000CT / 6500CTNote: Pictures will be added later ! This is a unique variation of reel made specifically for the UK market in response to demand for a reel with better casting for beach fishing. This is achieved by removing the levelwind mechanism. Initially anglers would modify their existing reels by removing the level wind mechanism and the top cross bar. In 1977s, ABU soon realized the market potential of such reel and put them into production. Initially, the reels were made like other 6000C / 6500C but comes with an open styled frame. Later, Ultracast design were incorporated which brought the performance into far greater heights. In the 1996, ABU made an improvement to the reel in the form of a reinforced frame which can handle higher torque and produce less vibrations. Several variations of such reels have since been release to the markets.
In 1997, ABU also incorporated the same design concept on the 7000 in the form of the 7500C3 CT |
