Abu Reels

[Tonyc]

Does anyone know when Abu reels ceased to be made in Sweden please.

I am thinking of getting a 6500, but have been told that the newer ones aren't very good.

Thanks

Go down to your tackle shop and have look at one see what you think and ask his opinion most things are made or part made in china now they are even going to make jaguars and range river soon, its just the way it is

Don't know the answer to yer question mate but I got 2 made in sweden blue elites about this time last year at sport and leisure, £100 a pop. Brilliant reels. So I reckon if yer shop around you may find new originals like I did. Good luck.

Some continued to be made in sweeden the entire time... Then most have gone back anyway
