NEW ABU 6500 Mag Reels

The Mag Elite and associated reels have been a mainstay of UK beach casting for a good few years now. They were fantastic casting machines and ABU have maintained this performance but made a number of improvements in other areas. Key features of the new reels are -

Crowned Gears – creates smoother gearing

Durabrass Gears – 7 times stronger

6 Pin Centrifugal Brake – possible to have 0-6 brakeblocks engaged.  Better feel in all fishing situations

99% Carbon Matrix Drag – 30%+ improvement – almost impossible to wear out

Corrotech Instant Anti Reverse – new surface treatment gives greater corrosion resistance

New Larger Star wheel – More ergonomic – allowing full use of new strong drag material

20% more durable level wind, where applicable

New improved spool – V shape takes the pressure off the side plates

New Ergonomic brake knob

Twisted handle knobs for improved ergonomics

Models due for the launch in early April are -

5500C3 CT mag Elite, 6500C3 CT Mag Elite, 6500C3 CS Mag Elite, 6500C3 CT Premium and a 6500C3 CT Hi Speed (6.3:1) (pictured)
