Abu 6500CT - Original


The original CT used a single unit spool/spindle controlled by two centrifugal brake blocks, bearing oil, line level and end tension. The original Yellow RF was designed for these reels so this is the one to go for in conjunction with two of the small fibre blocks.

End tension does work against the rotating shaft so if an unexpected weather front comes through a couple of notches of end tension on the left hand end plate should do the trick. Make sure you return things to a little end float when not in use

Gear Ratio : 4:7:1
Brakes : Two centrifugal blocks
End Tension : Not applicable, set to barely discernable end float
Fishing Tune : Yellow Rocket Fuel and both blocks
Pro's : Great little reel
Con's : None
