Abu 7000 reel

Hi Folks,

Yesterday I received an Abu 7000 reel from a dealer on E-Bay. It was sent by mistake, I had ordered a genuine 5600 and received the 7000 complete with black end plates.

There was no problem, an apology was received and the correct reel is now in the post.

Well to say that I was flabbergasted is under exagerating, the reel was the worst piece of equipment that I have ever held. I took the opportunity of having a look inside and couldn't believe my eyes.

I must apologise if I am offending anyone who has purchased one of these "Things", if you are thinking of buying one then don't. Save your money and go for the real thing.

Cheers

Drew

Re: Abu 7000 reel

The "seven" is the one to avoid.......economy version...not good,all the 7000 versions are excellent......

Re: Abu 7000 reel

Hi All,

My new Abu UC 5600 reel arrived this morning. What a snip £45 for a genuine Abu reel?

I am now awaiting the new Kenzaki 6 - 12 boat rod from Daiwa.

Cheers

Drew
